Set your time zone
Set the right time zone for your bilingual expat family so Yasmina can give accurate times for prayer, reminders, and routines.
Correct time zone keeps prayer times, reminders, kids’ routines, and sleep sounds on schedule, even after travel or daylight changes.
FAQ
How do I set Yasmina to the correct UAE time zone?
Yasmina usually detects your time zone from your Wi‑Fi location. If times look wrong, open the companion app, go to Device settings, choose your speaker, and set country as UAE and your city.
Can I change the time zone if I am an expat who just moved?
Yes. Open the app, go to Device settings, then Location or Time zone. Update your city in the UAE. This helps with correct clock, reminders, and prayer times.
How does the time zone affect prayer times on Yasmina?
Prayer times use your device location and time zone. If either is wrong, prayer times may shift. Check that your city and time zone are set to UAE and your local emirate.
What if my prayer times seem a few minutes off?
First confirm your city and time zone in the app. Then check the prayer method settings if available. Small differences can happen between methods, but you can pick the one you prefer.
Can Yasmina handle time zones if my family travels outside the UAE?
Yes, but you may need to update location. When you arrive, open the app and change the device location to your new city so alarms, reminders, and prayer times match local time.
How do I set reminders and alarms in a bilingual home?
You can speak in Arabic or English. Say the time clearly, like “7 in the morning” or “7 pm.” Yasmina uses the set time zone, so a 7 am alarm will follow your UAE local time.
Why are my kids’ bedtime routines triggering at the wrong hour?
Bedtime routines follow the device clock. Check the time zone and time in the app. Also confirm you chose am/pm correctly or a 24‑hour time, for example 20:00 for 8 pm.
Do I need a subscription for correct time and time zone features?
Basic time, alarms, and reminders usually work without a subscription. Some content, like stories or music at certain times, may need an active subscription for full access.
