# Change your time zone
|
|
|
|
Zulip uses the time zone configured on your computer or mobile device for
|
|
displaying dates and times, such as when a message was sent.
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|

## 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}
