AM/PM display

How do I get my phone to display AM and PM next to the time. I DO NOT want to use 24 hour time, but want to add AM or PM. I know that Steve Jobs disliked this, but it’s a pretty basic functionality. Short of opening the clock app there’s no way to check the actual time?

iPhone 12, iOS 15

Next to the time....where? On the lock screen? Somewhere else?


If you mean on the lock screen, I don't believe that's an option. You can let Apple know that it's something you'd like to see here:

I'm asking this out of genuine curiosity not snarkiness but, under what circumstances do you find yourself looking at your phone in order to determine if it's day or night? I know that, every once in a while, if I take too long a nap, I'm a bit confused about that when I wake up but it usually passes pretty quickly.
