This eliminates the need for AM/PM designations, making it easier to distinguish between morning and evening hours.

Switching to the 24-Hour Format
You’re now on the screen where you can finally make the change to a 24-hour clock. Here’s the final step:
1. Look for “Time Format“: On the Clock settings screen, find the option labeled “Time Format.”
