Military time, also known as the 24-hour time, is a method of time representation that begins at midnight and ends at the next midnight and uses the numbers 0 through 23 to represent the hours. This time representation is commonly used in many countries and regions worldwide. If you want to switch the time on your iPhone from the standard 12 hours to military time (24 hours), this guide will walk you through the process.
Tap on the "Settings" app to access your device's settings menu, then scroll down to find the "General" option and tap on it. Here you can customize various features of your iPhone, including date and time preferences.
Click on the "Date & Time" option, which allows you to adjust the way your iPhone displays the date and time.
By default, the iPhone automatically adjusts the time zone based on your location. Turning off "Set Automatically" helps to keep the time setting fixed after military time is turned on, without being interrupted by automatic adjustments.
Tap the gray button next to "24-hour time" to turn it on (green), and then you can see the time change in the status bar at the top of the screen. For example, 3:00 PM will appear as 15:00.
How to turn off military time on my iPhone if you don't like the 24-hour clock? Just repeat the steps above and turn off the 24-hour switch.
Congratulations! You have successfully switched your iPhone to military time. It provides a clear and standardized way of representing time, making it easier to distinguish between different periods. As you grow accustomed to Military Time, you may find it to be a useful and efficient choice for all aspects of your digital life.
