By default, messages in Zulip are displayed with a 12-hour
|
|
|
|
timestamp. If you are used to seeing time displayed in a 24-hour
|
|
|
|
format, you can change the Zulip timestamp format from a 12-hour
|
|
|
|
format to a 24-hour format. You may want to do this to avoid confusion
|
|
|
|
between A.M. and P.M. hours.
