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
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.
I dont understand why Apple fixed the problem on the iphone but NOT on the ipad!!!! 😖😖😖😖😖
Horrible bold clock font on my iPad after latest iOS update .. Please, please let me customise the clock font .. hate the bold font now forced on me.
Terrible to look at. 👎 At least make it customizable.
That has to be the ugliest font on record! I thought “upgrading” meant more and better options - not this! NOT HAPPY!!
The **** with “be patient,” it’s now May of 2023 & still not an option. :(
Also, it’d be one thing if the “update” were an improvement, but it’s hard to believe professionals opted for the ungraceful and clunky look of the loathsome font they selected
Same
How do you do it on a school iPad? Do we need the IOS 17 update?? If we do so, how do we get the new IOS?
I was able to change font on my older iPad. Is this a capability that was taken away??
Wait till you see it on iOS 17.1.1 on iPad.
My friends apple I pad did it
