Date at the top of the screen

Hi. I need the date and time at the top of my screen at all times because it is useful for me and I believe to other people also. How do it put it beside the time, permanently?

Thank you.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 15

I’m not sure that’s possible on an iPhone. There is room for the current time and a location arrow, but there isn’t sufficient room for those items and the current date. However, the current date is shown on the Lock Screen and you can add a calendar widget to the Home Screen to show the date there.
