iOS 16.1.1 time font too big

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.

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!!!!

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.

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!
