Since I first got my S21 FE, the native clock has always ran fast. At the beginning it was only 6-7 minutes, but it's steadily became faster and faster. As you can see from the screenshot, it's now 9-10 minutes ahead of standard EST.

Is there a way to fix/reset this?

@SamWitwicky217 Go to phone settings -> General management -> Date and time. Make sure that Automatic date and time is enabled.

I believe the time is picked up by your phone from your cell service. This might be a cell carrier issue not a phone problem.

Other family members on my plan aren't experiencing issues, so I don't think that's it in this case. They use iPhones, though.

That did it. Much thanks!

I had looked in the Clock app settings, but didn't check there. The clock being ahead wasn't as much of a problem as it not being consistent.
