    You can use any js date-time library you prefer. For example https://date-fns.org/v2.29.3/docs/format
    Regarding getting the proper timezone, first, you need to get your device’s timezone with

    import DeviceInfo from 'react-native-device-info';

DeviceInfo.getTimezone();

    and then use this timezone with date-time library https://date-fns.org/v2.29.3/docs/Time-Zones

    use Moment format to do that

    moment().format("hh:mm a")
