How do I change to a 12-hour clock instead of military time?

Update your device settings to display time in AM/PM format.

If the app is showing time in military (24-hour) format, you can switch to the standard 12-hour clock by adjusting your iPhone’s Date & Time settings.

Step 1: Turn off 24-Hour Time

  1. Open Settings.

  2. Go to General → Date & Time.

  3. Turn off 24-Hour Time.

This switches your iPhone from military (24-hour) time to the standard 12-hour clock with AM/PM.

Step 2: If 24-Hour Time toggle doesn’t fix it

If the app still shows military time after turning off 24-Hour Time, try these additional steps:

  • Go to Settings → General → Language & Region and confirm your Region matches your country.

  • In Settings → General → Date & Time, make sure 24-Hour Time is off and Set Automatically is on.

  • Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → System Services and turn on Setting Time Zone.

  • Restart your iPhone after making these changes to help the settings apply properly.

Following these steps should set the standard 12-hour AM/PM clock in the app.
