While the iPhone and iPad default to a 12 hour clock in the United States and Canada, it’s easy enough to switch them to a 24-hour clock, (you may know this as military time), through a quick settings change.
Just do as follows:
- Open “Settings” and tap on “General”
- Scroll down to “Date & Time” and flip “24-Hour Time” to ON, then close out of Settings
That’s all you need to do.
The change takes effect immediately and affects all iOS system clocks including the time display on the lock screen.
