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

Followed @veronicade1's instructions:
Tap & Hold the Lock screen >> "Customize Wallpaper" >> go to "ADD NEW" hit '+' >> select 'Photos' @ top left >> Tap on image from those available to load image >> Tap on time >> select Font and Colour from "Font & Colour" menu >> Hit Save (at top right of screen)
Under new saved Lock screen image and Clock Font, Hit "Customise" to reveal the Lock and Home screen pair.
Tap Home Screen >> Select background from Menu: 'Pair, Colour, Gradient, Photos' to Customise Home Screen >> Hit Save (at top right of screen)
Tap on Lock screen and it expands to Full scree size and you're done.
Please note, my screen cannot display the text at top right, so where I wrote "Save", it might be some other text; i.e. 'Exit'

I have an iphone 13 (not a pro) and was able to change how the clock looks. It does not look like it used to, but its not as bad as the default. I followed the directions provided by others, press a blank area in the lock screen and follow the prompt to "customize new wallpaper" go "add new", at the top choose a photo, on the new screen you can touch the clock and get something less obnoxious, a thin font worked for me. Then go back to the top right and choose "Add". From there you can either use that image as a wallpaper pair or you can customize the home screen. I hope this helps.

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.
(iPhone 13). Settings--Wallpaper--Add New Wallpaper-- (after I selected the New Wallpaper photo- touch on the Time display--) I was able to change the font but not the size of the font. At least it's not SO ugly. I'm certain there is a group of engineers at Apple that are silently laughing at their supervisor that insisted on this font change. Almost funny how a company that makes so many aesthetically beautiful products can this one detail SO wrong.
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

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.
You have to create a new wallpaper before the customize option appears.
Also it seems the iPhone 12 Pro also only allows you to change the wallpaper and not the way the clock displays on the lock screen.
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.

But you have to create a NEW background to get access to the font change. Kind of silly, when the present background cannot be used.
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!
To get rid of the ridiculous font you have to “Customize” your background by adding a NEW background. If you’re using a background photo, you’ll have to scroll through every single pic to find it, then add it to the “new” background. There’s no way to modify the existing background to return to the prior size

You can change the font size by going into: Settings > Wallpapers > Customize > Then click on individual widgets
iOS 16.1.1 time font too big
