iPhone 6s and SE 2020 both flipping to wrong time

[MsDrix]

My husband's phone (6s) and mine (SE 2020) have both been randomly switching to the wrong time.  When I notice it I just put it to airplane mode for a moment and then when it reconnects to the network it's the correct time.  

I'm a bit concerned that if this happens when I've got an alarm set I'll wind up way too early for something (better than late - but still!)

Can you help?

Set your data to LTE!

Yes this just happened to me as well and I even turned off my phone and restarted it but it did not get rid of the problem. That was before I came here to the community. In this string I saw the airplane mode solution which worked perfectly. Thank you

Thanks - that's a great idea.

One option would be to manually set the time and not rely on the automatic settings. When settings are set outside of your control, there's always a small chance that the wrong time can be sent to your device.
