Set the time of day reminders arrive
Pick a preferred time per channel, and make sure your time zone is right after you move.
Each reminder channel has its own Preferred time. Set it to a moment you will actually act — a reminder that arrives at 2am is read at 9am, by which point you have already forgotten it.

- 2Under the channel you want to change, tap Preferred time.
- 3Pick the hour and minute.
- 4Repeat for any other channel — they do not share a value.
Time zone
Times are interpreted in the time zone stored on your reminder settings, not the one your phone happens to be in right now. If you have moved or travelled long-term and reminders are arriving at odd hours, update the Time zone setting — that is almost always the cause.
Early evening works well for most people: you are not at work, and providers' cancellation pages are still reachable if you need support.
