Frequently Asked Questions

 

When I create Facebook events why don't I see an option to change time zones?

Currently Facebook allows event creators to change their time zone for events on both desktop and the Facebook app. You should see the timezone option appear to the right of the date displayed.

Is there a way to change time zones on your personal Facebook account?

No, Facbook will determine your timezone based on your location and the timezone settings on the device you're using to access your account.

Can you change your ad campaign settings without creating a new one?

No - changing the time zone in Facebook ads manager will automatically deactivate the original account and require you to create a new one with the new timezone setting of your choice.

The default time zone for new ad accounts is Pacific Standard Time (PST)
