clock display on iPhone homescreen

The iOS clock display on the Home screen is extremely tiny. How do I set the DEFAULT time display on the Home screen to be bigger, without having to tap it? I want to be able to pick up my phone with one hand and see the time, from at least an arm's length away, without having to tap the time display.

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 15

what happens when you 'tap the time display'? My phone doesn't do anything...


If you want a larger clock on your Home Screen, then you'll need to use a widget. Or you could ask Siri what time it is

the native Clock app only has analog time widgets though.

If you want digital time, I believe you'll need to find an app that has this. I use Widgetsmith for that, overall works pretty well.
