iPhone X - How to display am/pm on the clock?

[C DM]

Why not just use 24hr clock?

Not as useful/convenient in places where it's not used as nothing and essentially no one makes use of it or is basically familiar with it.

? It’s so you know what time it is. You don’t look at the time for others “to make use of it”

I think poster meant that in US, military time is not prevelant and many people have a tough time doing the math to convert to 12-hour numbers.

Seems like people asking others "what time is it?" is a rather common question.

Even that aside, when you are where it's not used then you looking at the time you need to convert it in your head which isn't heard but also won't be something natural or quick for those who never use the time because of where they live.

That's more or less it.

You can’t tell if it is day or night?

yes I can tell if it day time or night time obviously but it just one feature that I like to see (am/pm) - like I said its not big deal for you guys but it's just me who like it

I know how to use 24-hours format especially when I'm travel. My brain seem to like 12-hrs format

This is a serious problem whose potentially disastrous consequences are being casually ignored.

Example a senior citizen on a medication regiment not knowing if it's 6:10 AM or PM can, depending on medication, wind up taking double his medication and overdosing.

AM/PM had been in use for over 2000 years for a reason, but Apple apparently has a better idea.

I have advised Apple and expecting nothing. Nothing was the result.
PS: Military time is NOT a solution !

if you need to see AM/PM, open the Clock app and check under "World Clock"

Thanks but just to let you know this is old thread. Yes your are right about that but I don't like so many step in order to see AM/PM.

Now I've moved from iPhone X to 13 Pro Max, still not showing clock as AM/PM.
