Automatic adjustment of Jordanian hours next Friday (details)

Arab Weather - Some smartphones in Jordan will automatically switch from summer to winter time next Friday, potentially causing confusion among users, especially with the ongoing debate over winter time in Jordan in 2025.

The government confirms the implementation of summer time throughout the year.

An official source confirmed that the government will not back down from its decision to maintain daylight saving time (GMT +3) in Jordan, which was adopted by the Khasawneh government. He added that daylight saving time will remain in effect since the decision to abolish winter time in 2025.

Why does the clock not automatically adjust on smartphones?

The problem with the automatic time change on some devices is due to smartphones' programming, which uses two time systems: daylight saving time and winter time. Although Jordan observes daylight saving time year-round, some older phones automatically adjust to winter time due to their previous settings.

It's worth noting that some phones of the same model are affected by this issue, while others continue to display the correct time, depending on operating system updates for each device.

Ways to solve the problem of changing the time on smartphones

Restart your phone : This simple step often solves the issue of setting the time automatically.

Update your operating system : It is recommended that you update your phone to the latest available version, as updates contain fixes to set the time correctly.

Manual time adjustment: If the previous two steps don't resolve the issue, you can manually adjust your clock to the correct daylight saving time (GMT +3). The steps vary between phones, but almost all smartphones offer this option.
