Date and time Text fading in Lock Screen and hard to read

Turning it on then off fixed it but it came back does anyone know how to permanently fix this?

This is happening on my I phone 14. Is there a resolution ?

Dont worry just reset your device ones

( press volume up key and release it immediately and quickly press volume down key and release immediately and press and hold power button and release ones you see the apple logo on screen 👍🏻 mine got fixed after trying 2 times

I’m having the same problem. The date and time are almost faded out

Hi aoife10!

To help isolate the behavior, have you tried using a dark background with the light colored text? That may help to allow the font color to show more clearly.

You can see the options for customizing your Lock Screen here:

Personalize your iPhone Lock Screen - Apple Support

If the issue persists of the font color seemingly changing, then test after restarting your iPhone and after checking for a software update to help troubleshoot, as iOS 16.0.2 is available. Tap Settings > General > Software Update to check for an update.

Reach out to Apple Support if the font color continues to change unexpectedly: Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support

Kind regards.

I fixed mine (seemingly) by turning my phone off and on

Hi did you get this fixed ? Same thing happening with me and any help would be great
