My time and date keeps dimming

My time and date won’t stay in a solid white color but my widgets will. When I go to customize it, it shows up as fully solid white. But after I finish customizing it keeps reverting back to this faded faint color that is really hard to see.

Yes! It just started yesterday and it’s so annoying because i relay on this clock as I’m getting ready for work and other things to keep on track with time and now it’s so faded/dimmed i can’t read it at a glance.


I’ve tied looking through all the settings as I’ve read through different articles to try to find a solve and I’ve not found anything to solve it yet. Please fix and the other SUPER annoying thing is the snooze turning off the alarm verses actually snooze the clock if you happen to be using the phone. Example it would make since to me if swipe up it would be snoozing not turning off. These are the two major pains since getting the new update and new iPhone 14pro max

Hello xsirx,


This appears to be happening on your Lock Screen wallpaper. We'll need some additional information to suggest a solution. Let's isolate this further.


Have you test a simple restart yet? If not, that would solve simple issues: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


What happens if you use another wallpaper? Learn how to change wallpapers here: Change the wallpaper on your iPhone - Apple Support Does this occur with the emoji wallpaper, for example?


Does the behavior change if you switch this to a different photo? Or select a different color for the text in this wallpaper?


Let us know, take care.
