This article will show you how to add time zone for Calendar events on iOS Device. The iPhone/iPad Calendar app’s time zones are hard to understand. If you turn off support for time zones, a warning for an event goes off much later than it should have. If you turn it on, things can get pretty messy.
People who use Calendar for iOS and move between time zones may have noticed that events show up based on where the iPhone. iPad and Mac are instead of a set time zone. This can make some scheduled times wrong if you weren’t expecting it to work that way. If you want to know more information about this Visit Official Apple Support site.
