iOS 11 auto time zone problem

Interesting you say that as i was also using the beta but was having the problem. Apple told me that i should remove the beta and wait for them to confirm it is a problem. i just don't know why they wont admit there is a problem when it is obviously a problem. My sons iPhone 5 and 5S does not have this issue, just my new iPhone 8plus and new iPad 2017.

I am having the same issue even with the latest update. I choose to manually update my time zone because I live right on the border of central and eastern. My phone is randomly switching back to the time zone being set automatically. Please fix this bug!!

I’m on a ship moving through time zones! I rely on manual setting of time zone because we don’t change our clocks right where we transit time zones as it would be at crazy times of the day. Imagine the headache this is causing me! I don’t have gsm signal so it’s nothing to do with my local providers.

Can anyone direct me to a direct reporting facility? Thanks!

Apple Australia is looking into this for me. They have taken a diagnosis log from me so now i am just waiting for them to get back to me. The engineer that calls me is very interested in this issue and is being very helpful. As soon as i receive a fix, i will post to let everyone know.

On another note, I just realized that my MAC running iOS 10.13.2 High Sierra is doing something weird as well and upon a restart.

I have the timezone set to MANUAL (GMT +3) and i adjust the clock to my local current time (GMT +2) and whenever I restart my computer the clock advances one hour keeping the manual GMT+3 setting but changing the actual clock!

Seems there is a problem with all the latest iOS software for iPhones and MACs when it comes to timezone!

Of course, Apple will not admit this, I know there is a problem and it started happening only when I upgraded to High Sierra 10.13.2 and when I upgraded to 11.2 and started using an iPhone X.

We will have to wait for a new update that will fix this, no use calling Apple they will run you around with Reset All, Reinstall the iOS and perhaps reformat and install fresh ...BS, afterwards when all fails, they will say we will report this to our supervisors!

Sadly just updated to the latest 11.2.2 and the problem of time zone auto set mysteriously turning on continues.

Really Apple ? how hard is it to leave a setting that I set to "manual" alone and not change it back to auto.

I have the same problem. Only noticed it when I got iPhone 8. However my problem Isn’t manual versus automatic. I leave mine in automatic, I travel all of the time for work. Mine doesn’t update to new time zone unless I Force it. Help!

Just updated to iOS 11.2.5 sadly the problem still exists

Just like you said.... Turn " auto time zone" to off

Restart the phone and auto is back on.

So frustrating. I live between time zones and just want it to stay at the time I set not flop automatically back and forth. I can't trust alarms, reminders, calendar entries or the clock

Apple does not care. I have spoken to them about this for months ever since iOS 11. No one there will acknowledge any flaw. They blame it on my carrier. Yeah my carrier is hacking into my phone and physically changing a setting when I turn my phone off. Time to recycle Apple garbage.

I have an iPhone 6 running 11.2.5 and just started having this same problem. I drive a truck and need to have the phone stay in one time zone as my home time. I thought it was just when I updated to the latest software and switched it back but it did it by itself a couple of time since. I only sleep 4-5 hours a night and that may be from 3pm to 8 pm and then start driving so I kinda need to get the best sleep I can get and this is messing me up. It seems problems like this would have never occurred when Steve was there as he ruled with an iron fist and code writers shook in their boots if there was some kind of glitch and would get it fixed immediatly but with the new kinder, gentler leadership, we see how that's working out. I guess it is time to look for a clock app to go along with the podcast app I had to get to replace the abomination that Apple has made it in to.

I drive a truck as well. It has cost me to be late to load appointments over slept for reload missed reminders etc. I’m giving Apple 90 days to care about their customers or I’m switching to Motorola.

No its not fixed... i live in AZ .. but near Calif.. i have my ph set for phoenix as AZ doesnt follow Daylight savings time.. so i have Auto time turned OFF-BUT some how n I dont know why the phone goes back to cupertino n on set auto button.. WHY is it turning on itself??? Its irritating making me late for appts in AZ because ph is reading Calif towers or whatever!!?

Bren, believe me I am no guru :-)

I am just another user like you suffering from this stupid glitch!

For the past few years Apple products have been becoming less and less reliable.

I actually switched to Note 8 now while keeping my iPhone X (yes the $1250 version) on the desk with a less often used SIM inside!

Its not us gurus that can fix it. It’s within the iOS. I had an idiot from Apple try to convince me my carrier is responsible. Yeah riiiiiigggghhhhhtttt my carrier hacked into my phone when it was turned off and changed a setting. The last person I spoke with said they recognized the problem but it was not an escalated problem. Rediculous it makes wearing an Apple WATCH pointless.

Once you restart the phone it will reset itself to whatever it wants. I am officially getting rid of my Apple Watch and going back to my Citizen. Apple doesn't care about this issue and it directly effects how one of their main products works and thats the watch. Oh well...their loss Ive had my Citizen for 10+ years I know it works no matter what I do with my phone x 256gb. I have waisted money on two watches and luckily I am bailing now and will never be tempted to buy another.

Typed on my MacBook Pro 15 in Retna....just to show I am a loyal customer that realizes this issue has no care in the world from Apple.
