Hi caleigh2400,



The following steps address what you're describing specifically, and should provide a solution:

If the wrong date, time, or time zone appears on your device, or if it doesn't automatically adjust for daylight saving time, learn what to do.

Set the date and time automatically
The option to set the date and time automatically might not be available for your device. Follow these steps to make sure that your device is able to set the time and time zone automatically.

On your iPhone or iPad
1. Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.
2. Turn on Set Automatically in Settings > General > Date & Time. This automatically sets your date and time based on your time zone. Is this setting dimmed?
3. If a message appears saying that updated time zone information is available, restart your device and any paired Apple Watch.
4. Allow your device to use its current location to determine the correct time zone. To do this, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services and turn on Setting Time Zone.
5. Check that your device shows the correct time zone in Settings > General > Date & Time > Time Zone.


You can find these steps along with other information that may be helpful, here: If you can't change the time or time zone on your Apple device - Apple Support


If you have followed the steps correctly and you still have the issue, let us know if you get any specific alerts or error messages when trying, as those may help us determine what might be causing the issue.


We hope this helps.



Cheers!
