You asked to add a time zone, not just a city, so now you can. Type EST, CET or Pacific when you add a clock and the right cities come up first. It works with Siri and Shortcuts too, it understands German, French and Spanish names like MEZ, and on iOS 18 and later Spotlight finds popular codes like CET. Clocks in Australia and New Zealand now show their codes, like AEDT and AWST, instead of "Sydney Time". You also asked for a 12- or 24-hour setting on each clock, so the Berlin office can be on 24-hour time while Mum in Sydney stays on 12. Open a clock and choose an Hour format, and your widgets and Apple Watch follow along. Zulu and the new Military Time clock start on 24-hour time. World Clock now uses less battery in the background. Its widgets were waking each other far more often than they needed to. Thank you to the reviewer who spotted it. Sunrise and sunset are no longer an hour out for dates on the other side of a clock change, in the Timezone Calculator or Make a Plan. VoiceOver now reads a clock's swipe buttons as Rename, Delete and Calculator, and the calculator's time picker follows the app's 12- or 24-hour setting. Lewis

World Clock is ready for iPhone Duo. Open it up and your clocks sit in a sidebar, with the one you tap beside them: the sky over Mum in Sydney, how her day lines up with yours, and when her clocks next change. Fold it like a book and the app splits neatly at the crease, from the first setup screen onwards. Closed, it's the World Clock you know. Make a Plan, our new meeting planner, helps you find a time that suits you, Mum and the Berlin office. It's at its best on the Duo, with your calendar on one side of the fold and everyone's day on the other. Drag the meeting along and you'll see straight away whether it works for everyone, runs outside someone's working hours, or would wake somebody up, and whether it clashes with anything already in your calendar. Found a time? Add it to your calendar, set a reminder, or share it with each person's local time. Open Make a Plan from the Timezone Calculator, or tap the calendar button next to Calculator. It's part of Pro and needs iOS 26 or later. Lewis

This update gets World Clock ready for iPhone Duo. Folded or open, the app fits the screen you're holding, and the same work makes it better on iPad too. Tap a clock to open its new detail page: the sky over Mum in Sydney right now, how her day lines up with yours, and when her clocks next change. On iPad and on the Duo's inner screen, your clocks sit in a sidebar with the detail beside them. The app's own Desktop StandBy mode has gone, as it got in the way on the Duo. Apple's StandBy still shows our widgets while your iPhone charges on its side. You asked for more ways to sort your clocks, so there's a new sort button: by name, by time of day, east to west, west to east, or your own order. Widgets can follow the app or keep an order of their own. Lewis

On iOS 27, dragging a clock to a new place in your list could close the app. That is fixed, so you can drag Mum in Sydney back to the top of the list. The map's day and night shadow was going wrong as the equinox got closer. It is right again in the app, in the Timezone Calculator and on the World Map widget. If your Home Screen uses the Clear or Tinted look, the World Map widget now shows up properly, with the map in soft white on the glass and the daylight side brighter than the night. Thanks to everyone who was in touch with these issues. Lewis

# New Siri Four things to ask for, and more than one way to ask for the calculator. To Siri, the app answers to “World Clock”. “Hey Siri, add a city to World Clock” “Hey Siri, compare times in World Clock” “Hey Siri, timezone calculator in World Clock” “Hey Siri, open a clock in World Clock” Siri answers to World Clocks, World Times and Timezone Calculator as well, so the exact name matters less. And if your iPhone has Apple Intelligence, asking what is on your screen now includes the clocks you are looking at. # A theme from your own photo Pick a photo of a place that means something, or paste one, and the app builds a theme around its colours. It happens on your phone, and the photo is never uploaded. Name it, save it, and it works in the app and in your widgets. Premium Club. # Six new themes Nebula, Lilac, Orbit Dark, Orbit Light, Ember and Paper, if you would rather start with something ready made. # Four new widgets Fuzzy Time reads the hour back the way you would say it out loud. Time Overlap lays the next 24 hours out city by city, so you can see when everyone is at their desk. Sun Arc shows where the sun is right now in one city, sunrise to sunset. Big Time is one city in digits you can read from across the room. Thanks as always, Lewis

This update is one fix, but an important one. If you tapped Upgrade or the free trial button, the app closed on you instead of showing the App Store. That is sorted now, whether you start from Settings, Time Travel, themes or clock styles. Sorry to anyone who hit this one, and thanks to everyone who let me know. Thanks as always, Lewis

The iPad app gets a world map. Your clocks now sit under a map of the world, with a dot for every city you track. Tap a city and its dot lights up. Switch to the interactive map and pinch out to a satellite globe, turn on the day and night shadow to see where it's dark right now, and open the Timezone Calculator to watch that shadow sweep across the world as you scrub through the day. Local Time keeps up with you better too. Move somewhere new without crossing a timezone and the app and your widgets will notice, and update the city. Also fixed: a crash in the Apple Watch widget. Thanks to everyone who reported it. Thanks as always, Lewis

This one is packed. A new sunrise and sunset widget: see today's times for wherever you are, on your home screen or your Apple Watch. A single analog clock widget: one clock, one city, any size. Pick the place that matters most and give it its own spot. Three new themes: Woodland, Desert and Urban. Time Travel is now the Timezone Calculator. Same drag-to-compare trick, clearer name. You can open it with Siri or from Spotlight, and the cities you track now show up in Spotlight search too. And the app finally feels at home on iPad, with a layout made for the bigger screen. Thanks as always, Lewis

This update makes some small behind the scenes changes to pave the way for bigger updates coming soon. Thanks as always, Lewis

A few quality-of-life updates this time. The notice for the widget being out-of-date is now more subtle and should appear less often. I also fixed a rare crash around renaming timezones. I’m excited for what I’m building this summer and can’t wait to share it. Thanks as always, Lewis

This one's mostly for Apple Watch. Your timezones now sync reliably from your iPhone to your watch, and the complications won't crash on launch anymore. Also fixed a small thing where your 12/24 hour preference wasn't sticking after a force quit. Thanks as always, Lewis

We fixed a bug where some people were losing their pro features. Sorry about that. Everything should stick now. Outside the US, you'll now see “proper” timezone abbreviations like PST and EST instead of "UTC−8". We also made some small cosmetic improvements in the main app. And last but not least, widgets are a even more reliable in this update. Thanks as always, Lewis

* Widgets update when you travel — sunrise and sunset times now refresh automatically when you move to a new location, instead of waiting up to an hour to catch up. * 12/24h format sticks — fixed a bug where the time format would drift back to your device setting instead of respecting what you'd set in the app. * Settings fixes — the theme picker no longer jumps back after you make a selection, and a few other settings glitches have been ironed out. * Under the hood, widgets render faster too. Thanks as always, Lewis

I fixed a bug introduced in the last update where theme settings could get lost for widgets. Everything should go back to normal with this update. Thanks to everyone who was in touch. Lewis

This update fixes an issue with tinted mode on one of the widgets. Thanks as always, Lewis

Just a quick big fix update while I work on bigger things. Thanks as always, Lewis

I've embraced Apple's stunning new Liquid Glass framework! The app now features beautiful translucent effects and depth that make everything feel more immersive and polished. The widgets have also been refreshed with the same gorgeous glass aesthetic. I’d love to hear what you think. Thanks as always, Lewis!

I fixed a bug introduced in the last update. I’ve got some great updates lined up for the fall, stay tuned! Thanks for your support, Lewis

I fixed an occasional bug in the reminders feature. I’ve got some great updates lined up for the fall, stay tuned! Thanks for your support, Lewis

I’m working on some big changes over here. Meanwhile, this update squashes a few small bugs. Thanks as always, Lewis

I’ve made more improvements to the widget to make it even more robust and reliable. I also addressed an issue with the relative time in reminders. Thanks to everyone who reported these issues, it really helps. Lewis

I’ve fixed some issues where the widget may go black or get “stuck”. Also fixed an issue where deleting a reminder may cause a crash. Thanks to everyone who was in touch about these issues, we appreciate you. Lewis

I’ve improved how the sync between iPads and iPhones works. If you see issues in this area don’t hesitate to be in touch. Thanks as always, Lewis

In this update, we've enhanced the reliability of our widgets to ensure a smoother and more consistent experience. Thank you for your continued support, Lewis

Fixed a bug where the upgrade price might not show correctly. Thanks as always, Lewis
