Years of owning a smartphone, years of using my clock app for timers, alarms etc and YESTERDAY I realised that the app button on my homescreen shows the actualy time and not just a stylised picture of a clock!

I noticed it and thought "Oh its 4pm and its on 4pm...what a coincidence" in that way you do when the time is 12:34 or 12:21 or whatever. Nothing particularly interesting, you just notice it.

Then a couple of hours later it was showing ten past six....blew my mind!

Oh my god, the second hand moves smoothly around as well. I’m going to pretend I have a rolex phone.

SweetSenorita · 27/09/2022 21:04

Oooh, you're right. I never noticed that either 😮

BashfulClam · 27/09/2022 21:04

That’s been all over the internet for ages, do you live in a cave? How do you charge your phone in there 😂

PotteringAlonggotkickedoutandhadtoreregister · 27/09/2022 21:05

I’ve never noticed!! You’re right!

GreenLunchBox · 27/09/2022 21:05

Oh!

ItsJustTheOneSwanActually · 27/09/2022 21:05

Well I'll be darned... Grin

The weather icon also shows the current weather conditions in your location and the calendar icon shows the date!

I live in the north of England; it's pretty much the same thing 🤣

Mol1628 · 27/09/2022 21:07

Haha great isn’t it.

The calendar icon is also correct but that one is a bit more obvious.

LadyWithLapdog · 27/09/2022 21:08

I never knew 😂

ghostsandpumpkinsalready · 27/09/2022 21:08

Mines an hour fast 😳🤣

Mol1628 · 27/09/2022 21:09

My weather one doesn’t change though?!

SalviaOfficinalis · 27/09/2022 21:09

I knew it showed the correct time, although I’ve never actually looked at the time on it.

However like pp my mind has just been blown that the second hand is going round… feel like I should have noticed movement.

😁I only discovered this recently, after noticing the hand move on the clock. My teenage dd rolled her eyes at me when I announced it to everyone 😄

I'm a 28 year old who spends far too much life om the Internet and I didn't know that about the clock or the calendar!
