# Change your time zone
|
||||
|
||||
Zulip always uses your computer's time zone for displaying dates and
|
||||
timestamps (note that you need to reload Zulip after changing your
|
||||
computer's time zone for changes to take effect).
|
||||
Zulip uses the time zone configured on your computer or mobile device for
|
||||
displaying dates and times, such as when a message was sent.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Zulip also indirectly displays your time zone to others, via the
|
||||
**Local time** field of your [user profile](/help/view-someones-profile).
|
||||
You can change the time zone Zulip displays to others.
|
||||
You can [configure your **local time**](#configure-your-local-time) as it's
|
||||
shown to other users in your [user card](/help/user-cards) and
|
||||
[profile](/help/view-someones-profile). When your local time doesn't match your
|
||||
computer's time zone, the Zulip web and desktop apps display a banner offering
|
||||
to update it. If you don't want to see this banner, you can [hide
|
||||
it](#hide-banner-when-time-zones-dont-match).
|
||||
|
||||
### Change your time zone

## Hide banner when time zones don't match
|
||||
|
||||
If you local time in Zulip differs from your device's time zone (for example,
|
||||
you changed your computer's time zone while traveling), you'll see a banner in
|
||||
the web and desktop apps offering to update your local time to match your
|
||||
computer's current time zone.
|
||||
|
||||
You can choose to permanently hide this banner.
|
||||
|
||||
{start_tabs}
|
||||
|
||||
{tab|desktop-web}
|
||||
|
||||
{settings_tab|profile}
|
||||
|
||||
2. Under **Profile**, toggle **Offer to update to my computer's
|
||||
time zone**.
|
||||
|
||||
{end_tabs}
