Get Orbit, it's freeIt depends on the date. London changes its clocks for daylight saving time and Shanghai doesn't, so the difference shifts by an hour when clocks change. The live clock at the top of this page always shows the current difference.
Aim for the hours when you're both between 8 AM and 10 PM. The shared window falls in the morning and afternoon in London, which is the afternoon and evening in Shanghai. Every day of the year, 8 AM to 2 PM in London is a safe bet.
Orbit shows the people you love in the colour of their sky, so you can see at a glance who's awake in Shanghai, London or anywhere else. It tells you the next time you're both awake, and you can leave a ping they'll see when they wake. It's free, with no ads and no tracking.
