iPhone XS Max 256gb
I was having issues with Apple car play & buetooth on my car ice system, so I reset my iPhone & since then the wallpaper displays the wrong time & date, I’ve tried all things but can’t find a way to correct this, it would be good to get rid of this altogether on the wallpaper display
i took a screenshot to upload, but it says it’s too big !!

Hello batemansxxxb,

Keep us updated on how it goes! We hope this information helps.
Best Regards.
Thanks for your reply & the link to the help article, but all of those things are enabled, & it makes no difference, I might add that this problem only relates to the wallpaper, the Lock Screen shows the correct date & time
Thanks for keeping us updated. We are glad to hear that the Date & Time is displaying correctly on the lock screen and on the device. Is this time and date issue regarding a wallpaper from the App Store or a 3rd party source or app that you have downloaded?
Thanks for the screenshot. If you took a screenshot or picture of the background of your lock screen, it would be a static picture that wouldn't change along with the date and time on the device. If you are looking for a wallpaper that has time and date on it, you may want to search on the App Store if there is anything that would do that. There aren't currently any built in Wallpapers that have an active time and date on it.
Cheers.
Thanks for your help guys, changing the wallpaper to one from the phone’s settings seems to have solved the date issue, there’s no date displayed now, which is what I wanted, it’s only the original picture which I still use on the Lock Screen that messes things up if I use it as wallpaper
Change you background picture.
Thanks again for replying, the wallpaper is one my own photo’s & everything was fine until I reset the phone
Good news. Thanks for the feedback.
