Hi AppleVis Community,

When browsing on the AppleVis Website, is there a way to switch to regular clock hours like 8:46 on the AppleVis website? So that VoiceOver does not read: "On Wednesday, October 22, 19:48. I prefer to see it like this: 7:48.
Is there a way to change this?

Thank you.

I think it follows your device settings, try toggling to 12 hour time in date and time settings and see if it makes a difference

I don't think it's based on your device, cause mine is set to 12 hour time and it still shows it as 24 hour time.

Looking at the account section, I know you can set your time zone, but that doesn't solve this problem.

I, personally don't have a problem with 24 hour time.

It's easy enough to get use to once you get the hang of it, plus you don't need to bother with AM and PM.

This doesn’t have anything to do with the settings on your specific device. My phones are both set to 12 hour time but the website still displays in 24 hour time. I think this was done on purpose so that this could be read by everybody all over the world since Apple has worldwide users.

I really enjoy the switch to 24 hour format.
Ok, that's probably because I'm used to 24 hour format and therefore prefer it.
It's interesting to know why this change was implemented though.
