Faint time & date since update

The time & date is almost unreadable (faint) since the last update. Phone is not on DND & turning on & off makes no difference…

Hi leggosmum,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. This may be due to your wallpaper settings. Try changing the font and color using these steps from Change the wallpaper on your iPhone which should help if that's the case.

"Customize a Lock Screen wallpaper with filters, widgets, and styles

  1. In the Settings app, tap Wallpaper.
  2. Under the preview of your Lock Screen, tap Customize.
  3. Tap Customize Current Wallpaper or Add New Wallpaper and select a wallpaper.
  4. Before you tap Done on the wallpaper, make your customizations.
  • To choose a font and text color, tap on the time.
  • To add or remove widgets — like Calendar, Clock, Weather, Fitness, or Reminders — tap on the boxes above or below the time.
  • To apply photo styles — like Black & White, Duotone, or Color Wash — swipe left or right.
  • To crop and move your photo, pinch and drag your photo.
  • To select wallpaper options, tap the More button. Perspective Zoom moves the wallpaper as you tilt your screen. Depth Effect enables layering with the subject of your photo."


Best of luck.
