Time Format

Why not use international timing format (24hrs) instead of the US Format (am/pm) only.

So,

2016 i saw a thread about making it so you can choose 24hour clock instead of 12/am/pm.

What is happening? How do I change?

It's not even just that it's irritatingly fixed as 12 hour format with no option for 24 hour, it has a leading zero which is usually used to signify 24 hours format.

 

This problem is compounded when receiving notifications on iOS as the AM/PM wraps onto the next line making it look even MORE like a 24 hour time.

Can't believe Arlo still haven't added 24hr time as an option. I thought this was a global company, not just for America. Lol, just noticed it says my content was last auto-saved at 05:25 PM at the bottom here. Do you design your products in inches and feet too?

I am sure most European users would much appreciate a military time format. This has been requested on this site before, as long back as in 2016. What is the current status on this issue now? Is it a technology problem (sounds strange, should be a quick fix) or is it just lack of will?

Come on Arlo, please implement that, it's easy.

 

The AM/PM system is very confusing for most people. Especially around midnight and noon.

Another weird thing, Arlo app Library uses 24h format. This inconsistency is very annoying!

Here is a screenshot showing the notification, and the Library entry for the same event.

I believe it's tailored for your geography/language (as is the date format in your screen shot).

 

It'd be nice to allow the time format to be set.

Embedded images won't show until they are manually approved - which can take a little while.

Please enable the possibility to switch to the international (24hrs) time format!
