How to display multiple time zones on iPhone screen

Keeping track of multiple time zones is important when traveling or communicating with friends and family who live abroad. Instead of manually calculating the time difference between cities, you can use your iPhone to view multiple time zones.

How to check multiple time zones in the Clock app

You can use the Clock app to easily keep track of multiple time zones on your iPhone. This is the simplest and most convenient way to do it.

Open the Clock app and go to the World Clock tab from the bottom menu. Tap the plus (+) button in the upper-right corner of the screen. This will open a pop-up window where you can search for and select the city you want to see the time for.

You'll now see the time in your selected city in the World Clock tab , along with the number of hours that location is behind or ahead of your local time. You can repeat this process for multiple cities and time zones.

The main downside to this method is that you have to open the Clock app every time you want to check the time. This method works best if you only want to occasionally check the time zone from different regions.

How to Add Multiple Time Zones to Your iPhone Home Screen

If you frequently need to check the time zones in different regions, a convenient option is to display multiple clocks on your iPhone's home screen. You can do this with the World Clock widget. To add this widget to your home screen, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold an empty space on the home screen until the apps start shaking.
2. Tap the Edit button in the top left corner. Select Add a widget from the 3 options that appear.
3. Now scroll down and select Clock .
4. Swipe multiple times to get to the World Clock widget . This widget comes in two style options — square and rectangular — and both include four clocks that show the time for four different cities.

Once you've chosen your preferred clock style, you can add the widget to your home screen:

1. Tap Add Widget at the bottom to add it to your home screen. You will see 4 random cities in the widget.
2. If all your apps are still moving, just tap the widget you just added. If not, press and hold the widget you added and tap Edit Widgets .
3. Tap the city you want to change and select the desired city. Repeat this for all 4 clocks.
4. You may want to move your most checked cities to the top and push the others to the bottom. You can rearrange them by pressing and holding the three horizontal bars next to a city and dragging it to a new position.

You've finally configured your World Clock widget with the cities you like! We also recommend checking out some of the great apps that let you create custom widgets for your iPhone for even more customization options.

How to Add Multiple Time Zones to Your iPhone Lock Screen

For more frequent checking, you can also display the time zone for multiple cities on your iPhone's lock screen. There are several lock screen widget options you can choose from.

Press and hold on the iPhone Lock Screen and tap the Customize option at the bottom. Then, select Lock Screen and tap the field just below the time. Now, scroll down and select Clock .

You'll see some handy options for the Clock app:

• City (Number) : This widget allows you to add a digital clock for a specific city to check the time at that location. You can add up to 4 small digital clocks or two rectangular clocks using this option.
• City (Kim) : This widget allows you to display up to 4 small analog clocks for different time zones.
• World Time : This widget allows you to see the time in 3 cities around the world.

Tap your favorite widget to add it to your lock screen, then tap the added widget to select the cities you want to display the time in.

For the World Clock widget, tap each individual city to change it to your desired city. When you're happy with your selection, tap Done in the upper right corner of the screen.

The Clock app is fine if you don't need to check the time in different cities very often. However, if you frequently need to check the time zone in different parts of the world, you should consider adding the Clock widget to your home screen or lock screen.
