Calendar event time changes after being entered

Calendar event time change. When I book an appointment for, say, a dentist visit. The first thing I do is add the time and repeat it back to the scheduler. I type dentist, his name pops up, and I click, then save it. I missed an appointment because the time I knew I entered changed. Why??

I am not apple, I am just a user like you, but maybe I can help.

Try this


Check Device Settings: Verify that Apple calendar is set to update time zones correctly and that "Time Zone Override" isn't toggled to the wrong zone. 

Tap the Time Field Last: Enter and confirm the exact start and end times after selecting contacts or locations so smart-suggestions cannot overwrite your manual entry. 

Disable Location-Based Shifting: Turn off automatic primary time zone updates in your calendar web or app settings if you do not travel frequentl
