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.”

iPhone 8, iOS 13

Hi iPhone-time-zone,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today.


Is your iPhone used for work? You can read more about MDM here: Get started with a supervised iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


"Tap Settings > General > VPN & Device Management. If there is a profile installed, tap on it to see what type of changes are made."


If you don't have an MDM profile, then you can see if turning off Screen Time will resolve the issue: Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You can switch it off in Settings > Screen Time.


Have a fantastic day!
