Why is my automatic time zone wrong on my iPhone? I have an iPhone 15 pro and my husband has a iPhone 13. A couple of days ago we woke up in the Seattle area (where we live) with both of our phones being an hour ahead. We found that when we went to Settings/General/Date and Time Set Automatically was toggled on and it showed we were in Denver Time Zone. I also went to Privacy & Security / Locations and that was toggled on. Then went to the bottom of that page, System Services/ Setting time Zone was also toggled on. We have also restarted our phones. A few times. So far the only why to get the correct time is to toggle off Set Automatically and manually put in Seattle. Any suggestions why we can't have our phones be in Set Automatically and get the correct Time Zone for where we are. Also strange both of our phones did it at the same time. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

I want to manually set the time zone on my iPhone. But the setting for this says “The time zone cannot be set manually due to device restriction”. I want to manually set the time zone on my iPhone. But the setting for this says “The time zone cannot be set manually due to device restriction”. A previous answer to this question said, as below, change your restrictions. But it is not clear from the link where to do that. Can you explain exactly where I can change the device restrictions to allow me to change the time zone manually? I manage my iPhone, it is not under anyone else’s management. The previous answer which does not answer the question clearly enough for me; “we also see from your screenshot that your device has restrictions enabled, preventing you from manually adjusting the time zone. If your device is not managed by anyone other than yourself, you can disable restrictions following the information in Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support.”

Hey David_222,

That can happen if you have a managed profile on your iPhone.

You can learn more about that here: Install or remove configuration profiles on iPhone - Apple Support

Thanks!
