👉 How can I detect if a user’s phone time is set manually (not automatic) in Kodular or Android apps?

Hi,

Another method could be using a shell command.
Unfortunately, Kodular’s shell component doesn’t work properly, but by using KIO4_Terminal you can run:

curl -s --head http://google.com | grep “^Date:” | awk ‘{print $6}’

This command returns the header of Google’s page,
