 ### iOS
 
-iOS does not provide public APIs to:
-- Check if automatic date & time is enabled
-- Check if automatic timezone is enabled
-- Open the Date & Time settings page directly
+iOS does not provide direct public APIs to check auto date/time settings, but this plugin uses a **workaround** technique:
+
+**Detection Method:**
+- Compares `NSTimeZone.autoupdatingCurrent` with `NSTimeZone.system`
+- When auto date/time is **enabled**: these two timezone objects are equal
+- When auto date/time is **disabled**: they may differ
 
-Therefore:
-- `timeIsAuto()` and `timeZoneIsAuto()` always return `false`
-- `openSetting()` opens the main Settings app instead of the specific Date & Time page
+**Limitations:**
+- `openSetting()` opens the main Settings app instead of the specific Date & Time page (iOS restriction)
+- The detection method is a workaround and may not be 100% accurate in all edge cases
 
-This is a platform limitation, not a plugin limitation.
+**Credit:** This technique is inspired by the Flutter [date_change_checker](https://github.com/error404sushant/date_change_checker) plugin.
