How do I adjust my iPhone for daylight savings?


So, I’m getting ready to turn the clocks ahead this weekend, and I checked all of my iPhone settings and I can’t see where to turn the clock an hour ahead.

Does anyone know how to do that?

How many times has the phone caused you to exclaim, "Oh, my God!"

The way I do daylight savings time is to go ten minutes ahead each day, starting last Monday, so then - boom - I’m an hour ahead by Sunday, but I can ease into it ten minutes at a time.

You could use "Bedtime" to ramp forward 10 minutes at a time and still have your iPhone show you the correct "real" time.

but then you'd have to remember to set it back when Iphone automatically sets to DST Sunday.

You'd be an hour ahead (and can hit snooze to your heart's delight) until Sunday when you'd need to set it back to your time zone or you'd be two hours ahead.

As for changing the other clocks -- my gods, is it that time of year already?

They’ve shortened it big time. November to March is all it is now. I’m happy because I love the later lighter nights.

Settings>Clock>Location>Screen brightness>Birthday>Body weight>Favorite color>Choose "green".

Then, take a picture of your clock and follow the upload instructions. You will then be prompted to enter your mobile number. Choose "refuse", and there will then be a drop down menu. Choose "home address". Hit the "weather" icon. Apple will then mail you further instructions.

Is that what they are doing up there in the space station? Catching all the satellites and resetting the clocks in them?
