Saving timezones Locally vs to iCloud?

If you have World Time Widget on multiple devices and your settings are not the same, you may see a message letting you know there is a sync conflict.

If the timezone settings are different on both devices, you have the option of saving your timezones locally or to iCloud.

If you save timezones locally...

  • Your timezones may be different on each device.
  • If you add a timezone on one device, it will not sync to your other devices.
  • If you lose or replace your device, you will need to re-add all timezones to your new device.
  • You may choose this if you use devices for different purposes, for example if your iPhone has timezones saved for personal purposes (like catching up with friends & family) but your iPad has timezones saved for professional purposes (like contacting worldwide clients) and you don't want to combine the two.

If you save timezones to iCloud...

  • Timezones will be the same on all devices.
  • If you add or delete a timezone on one device, the change will sync to all other devices.
  • If you lose or replace your device, your timezones will sync to your new device.

You can check or change your settings by following these steps:

  1. Open the app and tap the Settings Cog Wheel in the bottom left
  2. Scroll down and toggle Sync times to iCloud on/off
