Smartphones have become an integral part of life. They are always at hand, and at the right moment make it easy to know what time it is. However, buying a new iPhone, you may encounter some difficulties. For example, your device incorrectly shows the date or time.

This procedure is not difficult to follow if you follow the detailed manual.

Data setting

note

In the iPhone, you can not immediately flip through the year. Scrolling is possible only by day, so you will need to patiently search for the current year.

In some cases, you can not set the correct date due to the fact that the iPhone is activated Buddhist or Japanese calendar. To enable the Gregorian calendar, go to the main settings menu, select "Language and Region", then click "Calendar". A list of three options will open, select the one you need. Then go back to the settings menu and set the options you want.

The “Automatic” mode determines the data quite correctly, therefore setting the time parameters manually is not so often required. Usually, users have no difficulty with this.
