Is there a way to change the CLOCK font on the welcome screen - it is now BOLD & large just after updating the IOS to 16.1.1?
the rest is OK so I don’t want to lower the other front like email or others - just the clock showing the time when you open the phone

I LOATHE the new clock font! In fact, it’s been discussed heatedly in my immediate family! Everyone hates it, quite a visceral reaction. I hope they either change it back with the next update or give us an option to revert to the previous version. Just ick.

Please see the pic below which is self-explanatory
Unfortunately this type of customization in the screenshots isn't possible in 16.1.1. After clicking Customize, we only have the option to Add New. I really hope Apple gives us back those options you shared.
That is the all point of it - in order to be able to change the font of the clock - YOU HAVE TO ALSO CHANGE THE BACKGROUND - !!! Then only you can actually focus on the clock and change the font size…. Sad if you don’t have the picture in handy of the prior background… at least we can have a thinner clock!

TheRealVerbz ~ We can't change it back, as we're just users like yourself. Use this form:

I'm afraid that isn't what I'm seeing when I touch the screen. I touch 'Customize' and see something different.
Yes, I understand that, it’s still NOT the same as the original font. It’s still larger. Besides, if you don’t have the original lock screen Image, you are just out of luck. Nothing is saved. Another oversight by Apple.
The bugs in this update are absolutely beyond unacceptable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my phone is now unusable!!!!!!!!!
I can't even look at the screen it is infuriatingly bright.
I just tried downloading nine different apps in a desperate attempt to get the screen to be extra dim...
it's like looking at the **** SUN!!!!!
I have the zoom on, I have the dark mode on… I have the brightness completely all the way down… I am frantically searching for an app to make the screen dimmer. With the phone almost 90° from my face because I can't even look at the screen. Literally have to wear sunglasses in my bedroom at four in the morning while tilting my screen to the side because I can barely even look at it. It's so painful..
WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!?
almost a dozen apps, and not one of them makes them darker. All of them just make it BRIGHTER!!!!!
The phone is become too painful to even look at!!!!
Apple has no solution. You cannot edit the current wallpaper. Why do people keep trying to tell us to edit? It’s not possible. The only thing you can do is create a new wallpaper and change the clock font. And Live photo option for wallpaper has stopped working too. Ridiculous.

You can’t edit a previously created wallpaper, because it doesn’t have the “hooks” for customization. You must change the wallpaper to a different one. If you have the image in your photo app you can still use it; add it as a “new” image.
I watched a bunch of videos how to change the font and they do not work on my iPhone 13 mini. When I get to the "customize" button, my ONLY option is to add new wallpaper. This is no way to change the clock font.
Has anyone figured out how to fix this?
I see videos showing the options of different fonts and colors for the clock, but I cannot get to those options. Help!
That ‘s it - you got it - keep on going to actually change the background and you will see a square around the clock that will allow you to change the front to a thinner font versus bold - not perfect but better than the horrible bold large clock
Obviously the new inclusivity aspects we have embraced have been applied for the sight impaired BUT for the rest of us the font size in APPS can be changed so this home screen time display (for the sake of inclusivity) should be able to be changed BACK to what it was in v15 !!
It’s still not the same as what they have used for years, suddenly they role out this unpolished version that reminds me of what I can’t say. As it gets removed, it’s where bad people go. Or break out!
yet, we can’t have seconds on our lock screen, it’s just not possible,
iOS 16.1.1 time font too big
