and calendars.
Set whether iPhone shows 24-hour time or 12-hour time: Go to Settings > General > Date &
Time, then turn 24-Hour Time on or off. (24-Hour Time may not be available in all areas.)

iPhone may not be able to automatically set the local time.

Time Zone to set your time zone. Tap the Date & Time button, then tap Set
Date & Time and enter the date and time.
