Set the date and time on iPad

By default, the date and time, visible on the Lock Screen, are set automatically based on your location. If they’re incorrect, you can adjust them.

  1. Go to Settings  > General > Date & Time.

  2. Turn on either of the following:

    • Set Automatically: iPad gets the correct time over the network and updates it for the time zone you’re in. Some networks don’t support network time, so in some countries or regions iPad may not be able to automatically determine the local time.

    • 24-Hour Time: (not available in all countries or regions) iPad displays the hours from 0 to 23.
