Trello is an indispensable tool for project managers and team leaders who work across various time zones. However, a common problem that may arise is the need to modify the time zone preferences. In this blog, we will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to alter the time zone in your Trello account.
Overview
Trello does not natively provide a setting to change your time zone. Instead, it uses the time zone set on your device. Therefore, to change the time zone in Trello, you’ll need to change the time zone setting on your device.

If you’re using Trello on a desktop, here’s how to change your device’s time zone settings:
Windows:
- Open Settings.
- Click on Time & Language.
- Click on Date & Time.
- Turn off the ‘Set time automatically’ switch.
- Under ‘Time zone’, pick the correct time zone.
MacOS:
- Open System Preferences.
- Click on Date & Time.
- Click on the Time Zone tab.
- Select the correct time zone on the map or from the dropdown menu.
On Mobile Device
If you’re using Trello on a mobile device, here’s how you can change your device’s time zone settings:
Android:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap on ‘Date & Time’.
- Turn off the ‘Automatic time zone’ switch.

Conclusion
While Trello does not offer a built-in option for changing time zone settings, adjusting your device’s time zone will help you manage your tasks and projects more effectively. It is crucial to remember that once you change your device’s time zone, it applies to not just Trello, but all other applications on your device that use the system time.
