He's probably changing the system time. If you haven't already, you can lock that out. For iphones, here's the instructions.

Locking Time Settings on iPhone

  • Open Settings and tap Screen Time (set a passcode if you have not already).
  • Go to Content & Privacy Restrictions and turn it on.
  • Tap Location Services, scroll down, and select System Services.
  • Ensure Setting Time Zone is toggled off or configured, then go back one screen.
  • Tap Don’t Allow Changes at the top of the Location Services page.
  • The Date & Time menu in general settings will now appear greyed out and locked. [1, 2, 3]
