I travel internationally extensively for work. I have always had my iPhone Time Zone set to "Set Automatically." When I arrive at my destination and connect to the WiFi, the iPhone correctly set the time.
However, since iOS 11, now when I turn my phone to Airplane Mode when I go to bed, the time zone reverts to my home time zone. This caused me to miss an alarm that I set!!! Please fix this!!
iPhone 6s, iOS 10.1.1
This worked for me. I think everything was working fine while we travelled until I changed Facebook's location services to "while using the app" because Facebook was chewing up battery charge. Make sure you follow the path all the way to the setting as adviced by TheLastPagan: Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Setting Time Zone and turn this on. It is deep in iOS. I have two iPhones and only one had the issue with the only difference the Facebook location services so that's why I am suggesting this may have something to do with it. Regardless, if Setting Time Zone is off for any reason it won't update your time zone automatically.
No it is not. I am on 11.2.1 and i still have the problem. It is definitely happening after a phone reboot. The Date & Time settings reverts back to Automatically Set after each reboot!
Just updated to IOS 11.2.2 and now I’m having time zone issues...I have to take my phone off of “set automatically.” When it is on that I am an hour behind.....please help!!!!
Lmao been told this since October.
In my case this happens after I turn ON/OFF or Restart the iPhone. It could be you are doing this as well.
Well this needs to get to one of the “so called” Gurus then..
Its unCool being late for Appts n alarms etc because the iphone has its own mind lol
Agree. This still is isn’t fixed. I almost missed a flight this morning because the alarm went off an hour late because of it!
Thanks for finding this, I will try it out
Did you trick with iCal work? Or it failed?

Correct. Once the device is reset the time setting changes back to “set time automatically” this is becoming truly aggravating. Side note: boy did I miss my Citizen and GShock watch, thanks Apple.
Well don’t let it reset!
Which means NO airplane mode nor turning the device off. No thanks. I bet you can use both features on Samsung devices without a timesozne/time keeping conflict occurring.
This doesn’t work. I wiped my phone to mfg settings. Rebuilt the phone without restoring from a backup. Fail. Same problem.
NO NO NO 😖 😡😡😡😡 it still isnt FIXED.. im so Aggravated we pain $1000 for new ph n APPLE CANT SEEM TO FIX their own ****.
My IOS is 11.2.6 AN THIS PROBLEM STARTED WITH 11.0.0!!!!!!
