Once you reopen Discord, it will automatically show the correct local time.
We will discuss why Discord shows a different local time and cover the steps to show local time in Discord on your mobile and desktop Discord version. That way, you will have the correct set time for your Discord by the end of this guide.
Why Does Discord Show Incorrect Local Time?
Discord is a messaging platform gamers, streamers, etc. use to communicate.
When using Discord to communicate, it is more convenient to follow the conversation while seeing the shared text in your local time. That way, you can know when someone shared a given file or message in your local time.
If Discord shows an incorrect local time, you’ve set the wrong time zone on your device.
Discord has access to your system’s clock and will use the set time zone to show time on your Discord.
So, if you change your timezone, the change in local time will also reflect on your Discord account.
