The Google Calendar is one of the best apps that can help you manage your schedule. Not only it improves your time management, but it can also save much of your time. But since people live in different time zones, some of you might encounter some challenges when setting the time zone in your Google Calendar.

You must know how to change your time zone in the app to quickly create events with specific time zones. You'll find this beneficial, especially when traveling abroad. Google Calendar uses Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

  4. 4 Tap on “General”.
  5. 5 Tap on “Use device time zone” on or off.

Suppose the "Use device time zone" is on; your time zone will update automatically as you travel. However, if it is off, you can select a time zone from the drop-down menu.
