I think the time comes from the mobile provider your phone is connected to. Otherwise when you travel overseas, your time would remain as it is in your home location.
Got a tip for us?

And I am not.
Downloading support for Image Playground...
Once downloaded, this iPhone will be able to use Image Playground.
Just change your region back to U.K. now. We have Apple intelligence on this beta too.
To the people who got in, what level were you or did you achieve that changed things?
by far the worst battery i’ve gotten in years on a beta release - 16PM
is anyone else still waiting for Image Playground, etc.?
My 16 Pro Max’s battery life has been quite good this beta, but I am a digital minimalist in many ways. Always in Low Power Mode away from home, Airplane Mode always enabled unless I actively need to use my phone (except at home I leave just WiFi [calling] on), no keyboard haptics, Reduce Motion/Reduce Transparency/High Contrast/Cross-Fade Transitions quadruple-check…oh, and no Apple Intelligence or Siri/Suggestions/Dictation anything enabled. I have Siri & Apple Intelligence as well as Search toggles fully disabled for every possible app and Background App Refresh is switched to WiFi-only.
iCloud backup via cellular off, WiFi Assist off, all analytics disabled (yeah, yeah, sorry ‘bout it [not really]), “Help Apple Improve Search” obviously disabled, and Enhanced Visual Search off in Photos.
I also don’t use the always-on display or StandBy, for what it may be worth, and I try to keep all third-party apps off my device—preferring to use websites in Safari instead—unless they have a clear non-collection privacy label in the App Store. Speaking of Safari, I use Wipr 2 (still in beta but releasing first half of November I believe) as my content blocker of choice—it is absolutely excellent.
And, finally, here are my Location Services pages if anyone happens to be curious. Maps routing and anything else I normally use works just fine with this configuration. “Product Improvement” toggles are switched off in System Services.

All joking aside most of us do not have it yet from forum threads here, and on Appleseed I am finding that 3/4’s or more of us still do not have it. Seems random to me as well. Some got right away, most have not and how some folks who were several days late into it got it recently. From some of what I read it seemed at least several were developers with live apps and such vs some of us developers who currently do not have live apps and such with apple. But I cannot prove that for sure and it may just be random
Yes to be clear: I was joking. No sign of it here. But I suspect we’ll have it reasonably soon
I asked Siri when I would get it, and this was her response.
Interesting: text effects in messages can be invoked using quasi-markdown

Thanks for noticing that. Not my day to day but still best not to advertise.
I’m a level 8 in feedback, still no image generation. I have been on cellular so maybe it’s WiFi dependent, it still says “access requested” in apple intelligence in settings
Can one search for a copy of an image on their device if they already have a screen shot of it ? I have a screen shot of an iCloud Photos upload transfer showing a thumbnail, but want to see if it's in my iCloud storage as I don't have any meta data for it available. thanks.
Works on your location. If you turn that setting off in settings > privacy & security > location services > system services for date and time your clock stays as is. When it’s on, the time changes according to the GPS.
I have access to all new features in the UK but I need to keep US region and language to get it.
