After doing the software update (iOS 16.1.1) the clock in my Lock Screen is in VERY BOLD BIG NUMBERS. The day, and date has not changed but the time is in a ridiculously big font. I have googled everything and nothing has worked. Is there a way I can change this?
iPhone 13, iOS 16
It’s totally ridiculous that you change the “style” a tiny bit (and only on their screens allegedly, but not the size. 😣 Stuck with a great big ugly clock on my screen. Another irritating and pointless change to the homescreen.
Yes, I still have a grumble about not being able to specify the size of the font I want, but compared to the humongous BOLD default time shown in IOS16, the normal-weight san-serif is much closer to IOS15. I tried all of the fonts (some truly hideous), and that was the closest reasonable match. You would think Apple could simply provide an option to display the old font/size.
Always remember -- some genius' new "Feature" is a "Bug" if it cannot be "Turned OFF"...
I followed your instructions and it does nothing. The Time is still in HUGE numbers. Surely this isn't a new feature! Does Apple think we have all gone blind? LOL
It is clearly not possible to change the font size, though you can mess about with font types and colours. Very intrusive, another annoying Apple “update” that nobody wanted.
This is easy with the iPhone but I cannot find out how to do this for he iPad. The same approach doesn't work.
OH nice, I had read this page before on the site but didn't pay attention to the fact that you have to go into it like you are changing the wallpaper. This worked. Thank you.
Found this, you can only do it if you use their default screens if you use your own wallpaper it won’t work.

Edit Lock Screen didn’t work
Soooooo annoying and totally unacceptable that I can't change the display on MY products.
I hope there will soon be a way for ordinary users to make the numerals in the time smaller and more tasteful. This is overkill.
Do I have to change my wallpaper I order to get rid of the ugly numbers?
No, just follow the steps 1-5 above, you can leave you wallpaper as is.
Time appears HUGE in lock screen after software update, how do I get it back the previous way
