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

Agreed. I prefer my old font previously to ANY of the choices on iPhone. Furthermore, the locked screen and Home Screen images I used previously were of the earth at night and day, which ironically line up with the wireless charging spots, was no longer available on Apple site. I had to scour the web to find the, to reload it so my clock font could be changed. Sometimes the changes Apple does does not work for its customers. So much for making it user friendly.

Yes, that fat bold font is ugly and can't be changed. It still exists in iPadOS 16.4 and the latest updates for watchOS and iOS. Even though it can be changed somewhat on the phone, it's still bold, fat, and ugly.


I blame Jony Ive. If he hadn't left, we'd probably still have an elegant svelte clock font.


Maybe if besides grousing here, if everybody contacted Apple's Product Feedback at Product Feedback - Apple there might be some hope. At least I feel a little better about it. Certainly 548 Me Toos would get some attention. I'm not holding my breath but we should try.

I agree on the arrogance, but nothing will be done unless those affected by this lack of consideration let the teams at Apple know. Please visit Product Feedback - Apple and give them your feedback. Hopefully there will be an update just like in the iPhone where we are given an option to make the elegant font previously used, or at the very least something that doesn’t remind me of the Blackberry days.

100% agree with contacting Feedback. How many here did? I did so twice before, and will do it again.


Apple sometimes listens but we have to make ourselves heard first.


No Thin Font, No Peace!


(Ok that might be a little over the top.)


I’m not sure the “thin” option on the iPhone was as thin as the IOS prior to them messing with the Clock font. I want a thinner font for the iPhone and iPad than we have now have as an iPhone option.
