Set the mobileCardsShowSeconds, recordScreenDetailsShowSeconds, or the activityStreamShowSeconds mobile properties to <kbd class="ph userinput">False</kbd> to hide the
display of seconds in date/time fields.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

The following mobile properties are set to <kbd class="ph userinput">True</kbd> by default for the date/time fields in mobile cards, record screen details pages, and activity streams:

* mobileCardsShowSeconds
* recordScreenDetailsShowSeconds
* activityStreamShowSeconds
{#hide-secs-mobcds-recscreen-actstrem__ul_syf_jpf_rcc}

When these properties are set to <kbd class="ph userinput">True</kbd>, seconds display in the date/time fields. To hide the display of seconds in date/time fields for mobile cards, record screen details pages, and activity streams,
set these properties to <kbd class="ph userinput">False</kbd> on your ServiceNow® instance.

These mobile properties are available in ServiceNow mobile app versions 18.2 and later. For more information about ServiceNow mobile app versions, see Mobile app version history for iOS and Android.
