No manual time zone override is available in the iOS app. This gap particularly affects schedulers and content creators managing global publishing times.

This is particularly damaging for global teams and sales professionals booking international calls where a missed meeting has direct revenue consequences. The bug is situational but recurrent enough to erode trust in the tool.
Communication Tool Notification Settings Auto-Activate Unexpectedly
