Time/date showing up very faint

Yesterday I got locked out of my phone by my sister who then proceeded to restart it. Ever since that power off, the date and time on my iPhone is coming up as transparent.

I’ve tried changing the color and lock screen but nothing is working. Is there any way to fix this issue? When I hold down on it to change it, it shows up the color I want it to be as shown below.

Thank you :)

Date and time on Lock Screen became grey A few days ago, when temperatures went under 0 degrees, my phone suddenly stopped working and a message appeared saying: iPhone temporarily unavailable - try again in 1 minute. This issue lasted for just a few minutes after which iPhone was working again fine (and I think I also turned off and turned on the phone trying to resolve). However, since then the date and time which are shown on the Lock Screen are no longer white and became grey/transparent and are not clearly visible. Can someone tell me what is the issue and how can I resolve this and get date and time back to a white colour as it was before? many thanks!

Time and date not showing on my iPhone lock screen A few weeks ago the time and date display on the lockscreen on my iPhone has no gone so dim that it’s hardly visible. I don’t recall making any changes. Is there any way to change this setting back to normal? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Time & date are so faint, hard to see The time & date on my iphone this morning are unreadable they are so faint. I've checked DND and the wallpaper, and those did not help. How can I fix the time & date so I can see it?
