Feb 20, 2026 10:42 PM

A lot of buzz has been created around the internet with users wondering if their iPads or iPhone's clock will automatically set itself back by an hour when Daylight Saving Time ends. Yep! Your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Mac will automatically set their clocks an hour back on their own. No consent required from you! That is actually convenient if you are in the same timezone, however, some users have also reported that their devices haven't automatically moved back an hour.
