Phones: modern and not so

This question can be approached from two directions: modern smartphones and old phones with buttons.

• If we are talking about the first, there is nothing to worry about – Android and iOS do everything for you, even if the device is very old. Check in advance in the “Date and time” Settings menu to make sure the smartphone is set to set the time automatically.
• If you use a touch-tone phone that is not connected to the Internet, the system cannot change the time itself. To do this, you need to go to Settings and select the appropriate date and time menu. Different manufacturers may have different names and symbols, but their logic is always the same.

What about computers?

The situation is similar with computers. The Windows operating system has an automatic time synchronization setting that automatically adjusts your clock as soon as you start the system. Accordingly, when you turn on your PC or laptop on the day the time is changed, it will already be set to summer time. However, these are provided on the condition that you have not interfered with the settings yourself.

To check, right-click on the clock in the Windows taskbar (the apps ribbon at the bottom of the screen) and select the “Set date and time” menu. In the window that opens, you will see two items:

• Set the time automatically.
• Set the time zone automatically.

Both keys must be active.

If for some reason this option does not suit you, you can use the button “Set the date and time manually” – “Change” below.
