With the new iOS 16.1.1, has anyone figured out how to put the notifications back underneath the clock and change the font of the clock? I despise the notifications at the bottom of the screen instead of bluntly in the center of the screen, and the new font of the clock and date is just terrible. I would like the old Lock Screen back very much. Is there a way to make that happen?

•Add a multilayered effect for a Lock Screen with a photo: Tapat the bottom right, then choose Depth Effect (not available for all photos).
•Change the Focus: Tap Focus near the bottom of the wallpaper, then choose another Focus from the list.
•Change the style of the time: Tap Customize, tap the time, then select a font, color, and shade by tapping.

Thank you for letting me know how to customize the Lock Screen. Big bummer that the notifications cannot be moved back to the center of the screen though.
