How to set your prayer times

Choose the calculation method, Asr setting and location that match your area.

Istiqamah calculates prayer times on your phone. You can set them up in a few minutes in Settings.

Step 1: Choose your location

  • Tap “Use my location” to read your approximate location once. It is used only on your phone and is never sent anywhere.
  • Or pick your city from the built-in list. You never have to allow location.

Step 2: Choose a calculation method

If the times differ from your mosque, try another calculation method in Settings.

Step 3: Choose the Asr setting

Switch the Asr setting between Standard and Hanafi.

Step 4: Fine-tune

You can move single prayers by a few minutes if your mosque times are slightly different. You can also shift the Hijri date by up to two days to match your local moon sighting.
