Change date and time on iPhone manually
Set automatically is grayed out

Our iPhone device adjusts the date and time depending on our location, although we can change this. If we want to modify the date and time settings manually, it is possible to do so; In the following guide we will see step by step everything we must do to achieve it..

Apple devices do not have the same level of customization as an Android, although we do have many options that we can modify. With very useful features like screenshot, reminders, voice control, etc. We can also modify the date and time to configure it as we like.
