IOS 16.11 updated lock screen changes

I am not happy with my new screen lock page after the ios 16.11 update. Can I change the font on the clock (so big, it is embarrassing)? Also, my notifications are appearing at the bottom (stacked) of the screen rather than the top, can this be changed. I tried in settings, but no luck.

Hello Wahine1,


Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities.


We understand changes with the iOS 16 Lock Screen can take some adjusting to get comfortable with, so let's see if we can help with that. Take a look at the steps below for assistance with editing your Lock Screen, and you can find more details on this here: Personalize your iPhone Lock Screen - Apple Support


Edit a Lock Screen

After you create a custom Lock Screen, you can make changes to it.

1. Touch and hold the Lock Screen until the Customize button appears at the bottom of the screen.

2. Swipe to the Lock Screen you want to edit, then tap the Add New button.

3. Do any of the following: 

• Choose a wallpaper: Tap an option in one of the categories (for example, Featured, Suggested Photos, or Photo Shuffle) or tap a button at the top of the screen (Photos, People, Photo Shuffle, Emoji, or Weather). If you want to add a photo to your Lock Screen, see Customize your Lock Screen photo.

• Add widgets: Tap the box below the time, then tap the widgets you want to add.

• Select a photo style for a Lock Screen with a photo: Swipe to change the color filter (for example, Vibrant, Tone, Deep, and Vapor), the background for the photo (Natural, Black & White, Duotone, Color Wash, and so on), and the font for the time.

• Add a multilayered effect for a Lock Screen with a photo: Tap the More button at the bottom right, then choose Depth Effect (not available for all photos).

• Change the Focus: Tap Focus near the bottom of the wallpaper, then choose another Focus from the list.

• Change the style of the time: Tap Customize, tap the time, then select a font, color, and shade by tapping the Custom Color button.

Note: You can also add new wallpaper in Settings .


In addition, the notifications are expected to appear at the bottom of the Lock Screen now. If you'd like to learn more details on this with iOS 16, take a look at this resource: Use notifications on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


We hope this helps to clear up what you're looking to do.


Have a great day!
