Can’t turn off automatic date and time

Hey so basically I just can’t turn off automatic date and time. When I go to Settings > General > Date and time and try to turn off Automatic date and time it just says “The time zone cannot be set manually due to device restrictions.” What does that mean?

iPhone 13, iOS 18

● If an app or feature on your device is not working, not appearing, or is restricted (grayed out), a frequent reason is it may have been disabled using Screen Time, or by an IT administrator if you are using a device owned by an employer or educational institution.

- Read this support article If your Apple ID or other options are greyed out in Settings —> If your Apple Account is grayed out in Settings - Apple Support


Tap your Settings app > Screen Time > Content & Privacy > scroll to Allow Changes and turn on.


- If the device is managed (Settings > General > VPN & Device Management), contact the IT department that is doing the managing.


Once you have deactivated Screen Time this support article outlines using automatic and manual date and time settings --> If you can't change the time or time zone on your Apple device - Apple Support
