My ipad pro was just updated to 16.2 and it changed the font of the clock. It looks dumb. How do I change it back to the font from the previous version? I’m sick of these updates adding things I don’t need or want.

iPad Pro, 11-inch, 4th Gen, Wi-Fi

Hi C00kie_Monster,


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! To change the style of the time such as the font, you'll want to follow the steps below that can help:


Personalize your iPhone Lock Screen

Edit a Lock Screen
After you create a custom Lock Screen, you can make changes to it.
1. Touch and hold the Lock Screen until the Customize button appears at the bottom of the screen.
2. Swipe to the Lock Screen you want to edit, then tap the Add New button.
3. Do any of the following: 
Choose a wallpaper: Tap an option in one of the categories (for example, Featured, Suggested Photos, or Photo Shuffle) or tap a button at the top of the screen (Photos, People, Photo Shuffle, Emoji, or Weather). If you want to add a photo to your Lock Screen, see Customize your Lock Screen photo.
Add widgets: Tap the box below the time, then tap the widgets you want to add.
Select a photo style for a Lock Screen with a photo: Swipe to change the color filter (for example, Vibrant, Tone, Deep, and Vapor), the background for the photo (Natural, Black & White, Duotone, Color Wash, and so on), and the font for the time.
Add a multilayered effect for a Lock Screen with a photo: Tap the More button at 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 the Custom Color button.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day.

Unlike iOS16 for iPhone, iPadOS 16 for iPad does not support lock screen customisation. Likewise, the new active Astronomy and Weather Wallpapers are currently exclusive to iOS16.x for iPhone.


Whether or not any of these features will ever reach iPadOS is known only to Apple.


Apple do invite submission of constructive comments and feature requests via its Product Feedback portal - this being the most appropriate channel through which to express your thoughts to Apple. For iPad and iPadOS:
