The Clock and date on the lock screen are very faded despite me setting the colour to pure white. In the preview it looks fine. but as soon as I select it it fades. any suggestions?

To enable this function, you need to go to Settings > Focus > [select one of the Focus modes] > Options (Parameters) > activate Dim Lock Screen (Darken under the lock)
To disable - do opposite
Same!! Just a soft reset my holding the red button down in the top volume button down for a few seconds
Just simply re start your phone… it will go back to a brighter widget.
this happened to me! No idea why but this video solved it!
Hope this helps
Actually I kinda liked the dim clock as it was more transparent and fit my background nicely. Too bad it disappeared in its own and I am now stuck with a bright lock that is gaudy to watch. Is there a way to switch back to dim mode? Also Apple developers really need to allow us to move the clock to a different location and with smaller size, or remove the clock altogether.
Before and after I restarted my phone
thanks this did it. I had tried a restart already but it didn’t solve it the first time.
2nd times a charm it seems.
thanks!
There is no Dim lockscreen option for sleep mode, just the other modes.
Yes, either restarting or resetting the phone does it.
Thank you! Worked like a charm. Bizarrely, this problem started for me yesterday when I picked my phone up from the nightstand and it said I was locked out, "try again in 3 hours". I had not tried to enter my passcode 1 time, much less the many incorrect tries it takes to lock it for that long. When I finally did wait out the 3 hours, the passcode worked as usual but the clock widget was dimmed. I had turned the phone off and then on to see if would clear the 3-hour-long "locked out" glitch (it didn't), so I didn't think to do it one more time to clear the "dimmed clock widget" glitch. Anyway, thanks again.
I’ve got the same problem. It occurred after a mistake emergency phone call was placed on my phone. Apparently I was trying to make a call while my phone was in my pocket. After I ended the call I ended up turning off my phone for a few
minutes then after turning back on I noticed I couldn’t see my clock and date and it keeps getting more dim by the minute. Now I can barely tell the time
I had the exact same things, did you fix it. Mine luckily only locked me out for 1min but I definitely didn’t even try to unlock my phone for it to lock me out. And my clock is still dim….did you fix yours, of so, how?
Hello there! This same problem has just happened to me after my baby daughter unwillingly took my phone, blocked it and made an emergency call. Does anybody know how to fix it back? Thanks in advance!
Mine was the exact same!! 3 hours wait and I didn’t even try! (Just before trying to pay for McDonald’s aswell sadly) then my phone when dim so I did the thing with turning it on and off again, do you know what this bug was?
I have the same problem which appeared after a mysterious message in my Lock Screen. I went to access my phone and it said that my iPhone was unavailable and to try again after 5 minutes. Once the time elapsed, I was able to get into my phone but I became aware of the issue after attempting to access it a bit later. Nothing I’ve been able to do has resolved the problem so I’d appreciate any help.
thank you!
Thank you so much. I’m shocked, but resting did fix it!
