Change timezone on BrowserStack real devices

Important: This feature is available only under Team Pro and Enterprise Pro plans. For more details, check out our pricing page.

The Settings app on an Android or iOS device enables you to set the timezone on the device. You can set the timezone automatically by giving the Settings app the permission to use the current device location, or manually by entering the name of the country or city with your required timezone.

Live enables you to set the timezone manually on BrowserStack real devices, to test your websites for timezone-based scenarios.

This guide provides information about changing timezone manually on BrowserStack real iOS devices. On BrowserStack real Android devices, you can change timezone by launching your Live test session and following the procedure mentioned in Google documentation.

Supported devices

Live supports changing timezone on devices running iOS 13 and higher.

Change timezone

Important: Live does not support changing time zone and setting the time simultaneously on BrowserStack real iOS devices.
  1. Log in to the Live dashboard.
  2. Select the device-browser combination to start your test session.
  3. On the Live toolbar, click Settings.
  4. Under iOS Settings on the Settings prompt, click General.
  5. In the Device Time Zone section on the prompt, select the city and country of your choice, and click Update Device Time Zone.
    You see a message on the dashboard that the device timezone is updated.
Note: The Set Time Automatically setting is disabled by default. If you enable this setting, you cannot set timezone manually on the device.
