iOS 11 auto time zone problem

I have a related problem - when I travel, I prefer to set my time zone manually, so I turn off "Set Automatically." But on a new iPhone8 with iOS11 (and 11.0.1, but not sure yet about 11.0.2), the time zone setting changes to turn on "Set Automatically" at some points I that seem to be related to using airplane mode.

I am having the same issue and have the same preference—keep the phone on my home time zone and not automatically update. The phone keeps reverting back to automatically set time zone. I am on version 11.1.2. Will this be fixed in another update? Anything else I can do?

Same problem here. I have an iPhone 8 on iOS 11.2.

Turned off the "Set Automatically button", however after each wifi connection i do, again the buttons turns itself on...which is 1 hour late fro my current place time. I hope this thing reaches Apple...and a fix coming soonest

It’s clear now. Apple is forcing all of us to change how we live to accommodate the tech we’ve chosen to use in our day to day lives. Rather than providing tech that aids us, Apple is forcing 1000s of us to adopt a new lifestyle. For those of us who have been keeping our tech set to our preferred time zone, Apple is saying we won’t supoort that use case. Change to what we believe is the preferred model. Always adjust the time to local time. I’ve used my preferred time zone for 3 decades. Always. Now because of this defect, I am constantly having to monitor what time zone my phone is set to. This weekend I almost missed a flight because of this. If my investment in Apple tech wasn’t so extensive I would scrap it all. iPhones. Apple Watch. Apple TV. MacBooks. AirPort Extreme iPad. So they’re betting on user adoption rather than fixing the defect. And is it even a defect if this is their response? If they don’t plan to fix it, why even have the setting in the device in the first place? It’s absurd beyond reason and is a huge fail on their part. Withthousands of employees and billions in revenue and stockpiled, how can they not allocate resources to fix the defect? It’ can only be a silent and intentional approach to force us to adopt as in their opinion it is how we should be living.

Same problem here, on iPhone X with iOS 11.2. Arrived in Europe from Singapore, time zone updated automatically, I set my alarm for 7am local time, turned on airplane mode (to avoid calls waking me up in the middle of the night). My alarm went off but it was actually 7am Singapore time, only 1am where I am! My Apple Watch was still on local time (hadn’t reverted back since was disconnected from phone due to airplane mode).

Please fix this!

Similar issue. I would like to set time zone automatically but when I select it it adds 8 hours to the clock. I am in Pacific time zone and if I set time zone automatically the time displayed is London time zone.

I have the same issue. Very frustrating and causing me to miss alarms, appointments, and reminders

iPhone 8 iOS 11.2

I set the date time "set automatically" to be off. It stays off with my manually set time for a few days... then changes back to "set automatically" being on.

I live and work in two different time zones so it's a problem when I think my phone is on one time and it mysteriously randomly changes back to auto setting and is either an hour ahead or behind

It doesn't seem like this should be a hard thing to get right. If I tell it to not set automatically it should stay off

Checking in... Still happening on iOS 11.2.1

I can reproduce the unwanted flip back to "automatically set time" on by rebooting the phone. I set auto time set to off and manually set a time... Then Pressing the power button , selecting "turn off" then turning phone immediately back on via the power button

If you are fast enough after it boots up you can unlock it and see it's ok on the correct manual time then it connects to network and flips back an hour. You go to date time settings and "automatically set time" it turned back on. This happens if I forget all my wifi networks. So it seems to be something it's getting from my carrier att.

I get the carrier is pushing a time and zone but why won't iOS ignore that if I manually set a time and tell it to not auto set?

I have the reverse problem. I just recently wiped my phone, reset it and have been rebuilding from scratch, not a back up. When I travel I always leave my home time zone set and adjust accordingly.

After 11.1.2 the Set Automatically toggle is reverting back to On even after I turn it of.

I’ve turn d my phone off and on repeatedly and every time I do, the toggle is in the On position.

So this is not fixed. I’m forced to have Set Automatically On despite the fact I want if Off.

Same here, live on the line between cst/est but work in est. phone changes in the middle of the night throwing my alarm off. I am going to have to go buy an alarm clock or get fired- what is the fix Apple?

Same here. Pretty sad. Yesterday I dug out a 25?year old digital alarm clock from storage for that exact reason. Ridiculous that a brand new ,supposedly best in class , ~ 700$ device can't be trusted as a basic alarm clock

As of December 19th it is not fixed - my phone updated last night and woke up an hour early because my automatic setting went back to MST instead of PST. This has been occurring since daylight savings time happened. I have tried to manually set my time zone but the phone automatically reverts back to MST.

My issue with auto time zone resolved itself as of 12/13. After several days of having it set London time when auto time zone enabled, I live in PST I set it manually. Manual mode worked fine for a week or so. On 12/13 I enabled auto time zone and it's been working fine since. Nice to have the gremlins out finally.
