iPad Lock Screen time font.
Since updating my 8th generation iPad to iOS 16.1 I’m unable to change the time font on my Lock Screen, anyone else having this problem?
iPad, 16
Why not!??
Question marked as
Folks,
Lock screen customisations, on iPad, are only available for iPadOS 17.
There are NO lock screen customisations, for iPad, in any version of iPadOS 16, AND, at this late stage/timeframe, never will be.
Anyone with iPads stuck on iPadOS 16 are stuck with whatever default lockscreen look Apple has coded into iPadOS 16.
There are ONLY three models of iPad that are forever stuck on some version of iPadOS 16.
The 2015/2016, 12.9 inch screen iPad Pro models. The 2016 9.7 inch screen iPad Pro model and the 2017 5th gen regular, 9.7 inch screen iPad.
If you want an iPad that has a cutomisable lock screen, you will need to purchase a new or “newer“ ( refurbished or used, secondhand ) iPad model.
All of these older model iPads below CAN, currently, run the latest releases of iPadOS 17.
2017, 12.9 inch screen iPad Pro models ( 1st gen Pencil support )
2017, 10.5 inch screen iPad Pro models ( 1st gen Pencil support )
( The above iPad models, probably, are at their last full year of full Apple OS support. )
2018 11 inch or 12.9 inch screen iPad Pro models ( 2nd gen Pencil support )
2020 11 inch or 12.9 inch screen iPad Pro models ( 2nd gen Pencil support )
2018, 9.7 inch screen iPad 6th gen models ( 1st gen Pencil support )
2019, 10.2 inch screen iPad 7th gen models ( 1st gen Pencil support )
2020, 10.2 inch screen iPad 8th gen models ( 1st gen Pencil support )
2020, 10.2 inch screen iPad 8th gen models ( 1st gen Pencil support )
2021, 10.2 inch screen iPad 9th gen models ( 1st gen Pencil support )
2018, 11 inch or 12.9 inch screen iPad Pro models ( 2nd gen Pencil support )
2019, 10.5 inch screen iPad Air 3rd gen models ( 1st gen Pencil support )
2021 10.9 inch screen iPad Air 4th gen models ( 2nd gen Pencil support )
2019, 7.9 inch screen iPad Mini 5th gen models ( 1st gen Pencil support )
2021 8.3 inch screen iPad Mini 6th gen models ( 2nd gen Pencil support )
Get the largest internal data storage model you can afford as NO Apple iOS device has ANY expandable storage.
Sorry to Everyone who is complaining about the lack of this lock screen customisation feature missing in iPadOS 16, but this is never going to happen.

What is the title of this thread?? We KNOW this!!
People are making this sound like Apple isn't going to update this on Ipad very soon. Be patient, they will. They were slightly late rolling out 16 if you recall. They will get to it.
How do you change the horrible font on the Lock Screen time on an iPad. I can only find instructions for an iPhone.
It doesn’t work well on the iPhone either… this is just stupid.
Ya I just want new clock fonts they look drip
Bummer, I don’t like it either, which is the reason this post came up, but it’s not worth getting bent. It’s a clock, a font, and first world problem.
On to the next thing🤙
Still waiting to change Lock Screen on iPad Mini
The worst change Apple has made in a long time. I just don’t want to look at it. I had to change my wallpaper to plane white so I can barely see it.
I totally agree, I don’t even like it on my iPhone. Apple, please change it.
Awful…
Another vote for awful and it’s ios16.2… there’s no joy in turning your iPad on and greeted with that.
Please Apple give ipad users the ability to change font on lock screen time. Or at least make the default one less bold.
Looks like Apple has really dropped the ball on this one!
Right. 10,000 engineers and not one of them seems to have any common sense. Why do they keep doing this crap.
