Set default Standby clock design on iPhone

Is there any way to lock the clock in Standby so it doesn't change? Or is it something that can be added in a future version of iOS? It is so frustrating when I put the phone on the charger and have to scroll back and forth, trying to find the clock I would like to use all the time.

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18

Standby on iPhone 13 with iOS 18.3.2 When I put my wife's iPhone on the charging station in landscape then wait 30 seconds it will turn the time on in standby mode. Soon after that the screen goes dark. I have checked the setting for Standby as follows: Standby On Night Mode On Show Notification On Show Preview on Tap Only off Is there another setting to check for this to work? Want to get rid of a clock when the iPhone should do it.

"Always on Display" and StandBy time limit settings missing from Settings App I bought an iPhone 16 two days ago and have upgraded to iOS 18.2.1. I want to use my phone as a clock when at my desk, so I went into my settings to change the StandBy mode to stay on all the time. However, when I went into my settings, this option was unavailable. Additionally, when I went to Display & Brightness, I cannot find the setting to change my display to "always on display." I have restarted my phone, and have been on apple's customer support for about 30 minutes with no luck. How is it possible that I have the newest phone and newest iOS but am missing features of my settings app?

We wouldn’t know if this can or will be added in a future iOS version. Though what you can do to help that is submit your feedback to Apple below, so they know what users want added to iPhone.
