Changing the time zone on your Slack desktop app is a swift and straightforward process. Follow these simple steps:

Changing Slack Time Zone on Mobile

If you’re using the Slack mobile app, you can also change the time zone. Here is how:

  1. Tap on the three vertical dots in the top right corner of your screen.
  2. Tap on Settings.
  3. Under Settings, tap on Advanced.
  4. Under the Advanced options, select Time Zone.
  5. Select your current time zone from the list.
  6. Once you’ve selected your time zone, Slack will automatically save your changes.

There you have it! By following these steps, you can ensure that your Slack always shows the correct time for your current location.

It’s essential to have the correct time zone in Slack because it affects your reminders, schedules and the timestamps on your messages. Keeping your time zone accurate ensures you’re receiving notifications, reminders, and messages at appropriate times.

Remember, each Slack workspace operates under its own set of settings. So, if you’re a member of multiple workspaces, you’ll need to adjust your time zone for each one.

By properly setting your time zone in Slack, you can enhance your productivity and ensure seamless communication with your team, no matter where in the world you are.
