My phone updated to 16.2 tonight. The time font is huge. I want to change it back but when I try the instructions I’ve found it won’t let me edit my existing Lock Screen. The only option is add new. Is there a way to do this without having to create a new Lock Screen?
iPhone 12 Pro
It’s not letting me change the font at all. It won’t let me make any edits to my existing wallpaper. It will only let me create new ones which I don’t want to do as it will take time to find the pic I used on the one.
Hi.
Fo you have the original photos of the wallpaper available? If yes, you can create the new Home Screen and Lock Screen using this latest iOS and you will be able to make the changes to the colours and fonts
I do somewhere. I’ll have to find it as it’s at least 9 years old. I just wish if they were doing this they wouldn’t change existing lock screens and then prevent changes. Just let us know new fonts are available and don’t mess it up
Yea, it will be useful for those that have wallpapers that they use for years or if they do not have original copies of the wallpaper.
Once you have add new for the wallpapers, you can click on the clock in the Lock Screen and the fonts and colours will pop out for you to edit and change. You can select the colour pallet for other colours as well
I have created a new wallpaper using a new photo (couldn't find the original, thanks for that Apple) but still can't seem to edit the clock font on the lock screen. i've tried tapping on the clock, holding, double tapping, shutting down and restarting... when i tap on it it just says "Swipe Up to Open" and then eventually goes black again. What am I doing wrong?
Hi. You have to long tap on the Lock Screen to go to the customisation page for the Lock Screen and Home Screen. If you are not able to using the first way, you can try to lock and then unlock the Lock Screen and then go back to the Lock Screen and long tap the screen and it should work.
Hi, thanks, i've tried all combinations of long/short/double/very-long/two-finger taps but none work. Editing the font works ok on my iPhone 8 so I see how it should work, but doesn't, on the iPad. I've tried resetting the wallpaper and using some of Apple's supplied designs, but all to no avail. Off/on twice, still no ability to edit the ugly clock font unfortunately
You can change Font and Colour, not size.

Hi.
Is this wallpaper created before iOS 16? Because all wallpapers and Lock Screen that I have created after iOS 16 can be edited and customised.
Yes. I’ve had the same Lock Screen for years.
Hi. Sorry, I thought you was referring to iPhone. Lock Screen customisation is not available for iPad for now so you will not be able to edit the font and colour of the words for now.
sorry, my fault. Thanks anyway, it saves me a lot of frustration!
