Hello guys. How do you check if the user’s current date and time (device date/time) is actually the real-world time?

Use case is to prevent wrong time inputs when user device has wrong date/time setting.

Hi Shu, just did a small test (adjusted the time on my pc) and current datetime showed the adjusted (and incorrect) datetime. So maybe it is an option to use something like worldtimeapi.org (there are some restrictions, check the FAQ).

If you dont want to use an external API, it might be an option to create a backend workflow that returns it.
