If you’re in the military, or have a job that requires you to use military time, you know how important it is to be able to quickly and easily convert between civilian and military time. While most people use the 12-hour clock, the 24-hour clock is standard in the military.

There are a few different ways that you can set your iPhone to use military time. One way is to change the regional format setting in the Settings app. This will change the way all of the date and time settings on your iPhone are displayed, including the clock in the Status Bar. To do this, open the Settings app and tap on General. Tap on Language & Region and then tap on Region. Select United States from the list of regions and then scroll down to the bottom and tap on 24-Hour Time.

If you need to quickly convert between civilian and military time, there’s a built-in converter in the Clock app. To use it, open the Clock app and tap on the World Clock tab. Tap on the + button in the top-right corner and then search for United States. Tap on the United States entry in the list and then turn on the switch next to 24-Hour Time. Now, whenever you tap on the clock in the Status Bar, it will show both civilian and military time. There’s also a widget that you can add to the Today View that will show both civilian and military time. To add it, open the Today View by swiping down from the top of the screen. Scroll to the bottom and tap on Edit. Tap on the + button next to the Military Time widget and then tap Done.

Examples of when military time might be useful are:

-When you’re working the night shift

-If you have a job that requires you to use military time

-If you’re in the military

Some people find it helpful to set their iPhone to use 24-hour time all the time, even if they don’t work in the military or have a job that requires it. If you find yourself frequently converting between civilian and military time, it might be worth changing your iPhone’s settings so that you always see the 24-hour clock.
