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'
Yes I did this, even though I did not really want to change the background -- that said, I found a nice pic in my photos that reminded me of my long passed dog, so turned out good in the end. Thnx for your input.
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.
You have huge problem, you have to create a new background image, you can’t use the one that was in use. Plus the font is still way bigger than the original. Apple IOS 16 is a mess, it’s just a stinker. It’s as if a high school kid designed it. It’s just nit what you call aa polished product.
Do you have the Pro Max? Maybe that's why you can edit the clock as you've indicated. The iPhone 13 Pro only has the option to change the wallpaper when you long hold on the Lock Screen. Thanks for the info.
I don’t mind the large font but it’s totally annoying that the colours fade once on Lock Screen yet selecting black date stays black. I want black font on mine. But apparently this not possible on pro Max. Totally dumb
I don’t like the bold font it is ugly
i liked my Home Screen as it was
i don’t like that I can’t easily or at all change just the time font - it seems you must choose their back ground and colour scheme ?
Yes, unwanted by those of clear and contrast vision, but what of those sight impaired ? Not thinking of them, are you ?
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 !!
btw, that is not WOKE, it is providing access to ALL human beings !
I just have to say that has to be one of the best ways to explain how to fix an issue. I myself don’t have issue with clock being to big BUT i am a new apple user, several months now, and I’ve
wished many times i would come across something like what you did
This new clock is absolutely awful, l want my old Lock Screen set up back as it was.
The old Lock Screen was how I wanted it, it was personal, how dare someone change it without even asking me. Not to be able to change it back, they should be sacked.
Anyone know if I can go back to software version 15?

mountainhobo ~ Although Apple administers this community, that doesn't include reading each of thousands of daily posts for possible feedback. So the only sure way to have Apple read user's comments / feedback is to use the many provided feedback forms:

@Alancito, are you with Apple? You seem quite certain what Apple does or not. From my experience (many years in support), a user support forum IS read. It is not a formal way to submit feedback, but it is read.
So much for Steve Jobs inspirational guiding light -"Simplicity is elegance". I updated my software and now have the horrible large time appearance on my iPhone and no way to change it ??? Simplicity would be after the update to have a pop-up button ask the question whether I would like to change it back to the previous size? Yes or no. How much more simple and elegant would that be?
I knew apple was going on the wrong track when they took away the simple pull down menu to print the screen. I have to remember now which 3 keys to press all over the keyboard at the same time to take a picture and then find that on the screen and then print it. In contrast
formerly complicated Microsoft allows a screen print with one mouse click. Ah simplicity is elegance.
Thought I was the only one seeing such a horrible bold font on the clock.
Suddenly my iphone looks like it got some android engineers to make this update. Nevertheless would Steve have been so angry on this.
I hate this change with a passion. If apple doesn’t address this I am switching my family to android devices. This facist ‘we know better’ attitude in changes like this are the reason. ‘Crap’ customizations and not the one thing everyone wants.
I don or want a giant clock on my screen.
Thank you sir. Your answer was very helpful.
iOS 16.1.1 time font too big
