iOS 17 clock widget error

On the new iOS 17 update, the clock widget in the new StandBy mode is not my correct time zone. How do I fix it. I tried to long press the clock but there isn’t a Edit function.

Hey there AKLotto-357,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.


To get started, while the iPhone is in StandBy mode you can change the region that the clock is set to by pressing and holding the Clock widget to bring up the edit mode for the widgets. To select a different city tap the Clock widget in the edit mode list.

There are multiple clock widgets. When you go to the widget list and select "Clock," you'll see "Clock I," "Clock II," "Clock III," and then "City I," "City II," "City III," and others. Apple, in their Infinite Loop wisdom, decided to make "City I" the default, set to Cupertino, instead of doing the intelligent thing and making "Clock I" the default, so it would automatically show the same time as the device itself, and would automatically change along with the device time when traveling etc.


You can edit the city setting on that "City I" widget, but what you probably want to do is delete the default "City I" widget, and then install the "Clock I" widget, which will always show the same time as your iPhone, regardless of where you are.
