Good to know

  1. No time is actually changed in this recording: the picker opens on the current time, 3:52 AM, and Done is tapped without moving the wheels. To change the time, scroll the hour and minute wheels before tapping Done.
  2. Turning off Automatic date and time also reveals Set date (currently October 9, 2026). Automatic time zone stays on, so the time zone still follows the mobile network.
  3. Use 24-hour format stays off (1:00 PM). Turning it on switches the picker to 24-hour time.
