iPhone Photos app shows the wrong timestamp as of Daylight Savings change

For whatever reason, any new Photo I take after Daylight Savings Time is sent back 2 hours instead of 1.


Do note that

-I have automatic time setting ON

-I am running iOS 16.7

-The Photos app mever did this until now.


Just why is if showing my time incorrectly? I don't want to go through the Adjust function for every new photo just so that they appear properly on my Camera Roll.


iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

I noticed a related problem as well. In Apple Watch fitness, it looks like it showed a Stand activity for between 3-4am, 4-5am, and 5-6am. Problem is, it's only 4:41am right now. So I took a watch snapshot of it.

Then looked at the stand activity in fitness on the phone. It shows the stand hours correctly, so took a snapshot of that.

But in the photo library it says both photos were taken today at 3:36 AM when it was actually 4:36 AM at the time.

I took a photo at 6:40 a.m.

At 6:43 I took a screenshot.

Looked at photo library & surprised to see the screenshot situated ahead of the photo.

The info for the screenshot says it was taken at 5:43, an hour earlier than it actually was (both at the top and in the info section).

UPDATE: I submitted this note at 7:04 & the time stamp is 5:04 (tho maybe not related. I’m in Chicago time zone & maybe all comments are stamped w/time in CA)

UPDATE #2 just a few minutes later .. now my screenshots are showing the correct time. The ones I did earlier still off an hour (Denver zone instead of Chicago)

Yeah. DST change has somehow set the camera timestamp back one-too-many hours. Like I said in a previous reply, I can only assume it was the DST change being wacky with changing after every TZ if hits, or the NTP clock having a goof. It does sesm to have resolved itself as of now(photo taken at a rime and matches the clock time) but would srill like ro know the cause of.



(sidenote: Also, the timestamp of posts being in Pacific time is likely due to Apple US themselves being based in California This is not a bug by any means.)
