What Is Time Zone Override in Apple Calendar?

When you use an Apple device, you’ll notice that your time zone often changes depending on your location. For example, if you fly from New York City to Los Angeles, your device will go from Eastern Time to Pacific Time.

Those changes will usually take place after you connect to the internet. In Apple Calendar, however, you can decide to always show your events in one particular time zone. You might want to do this if you’re going to return home soon, and you don’t want to get things mixed up.

When you turn on Time Zone override, you can pick the city you want to constantly view everything highlighted in Apple Calendar for.
