So my lock screen changed the color of the text on me.

Try this:

1. Hold down on your lock screen
2. Press “Customize”
3. Tap the lock screen
4. Tap the time
5. You will see a menu that allows changing time font and color. Choose the color you’d like (you can scroll left and right for more colors).
6. Tap done
7. Tap your newly edited lock screen

I hope this helps!

I know it's been a while, and I don't know if you still have this problem, I have just gotten an iPhone 15, and I have faced a similar issue of the iPhone constantly changing the color code to something different right after I set it, a washed version of the original color. However, I think I figured out a solution to my problem, which might be the same as yours.

So after you select a color, there is actually a slider at the bottom (below where you choose the font and size), which modifies the intensity of your color. That modifier seems to apply after you choose your color. It was set by default to the middle for me, which meant that the bright color I selected was automatically half-washed. To fix the issue, I just put that slider to the far right, and then it displayed the pure color that I wanted.

It was really annoying because you expect the color you picked already to be the one displayed, but there is this counter-intuitive modifier that applies after that I didn't notice at first. But yeah, if you still had this issue, I hope this can solve it for you!

Thanks now my color is white again

I really appreciate it

Just hold on your Lock Screen and click on customise and click on the time and then change the circle colors to white

If you still have the issue, turn your phone off and on again. I had the same issue and have tried all sorts all day to fix and simply restarted my phone and it’s sorted! Typical haha

Try a reboot. It worked for me.

In this situation, there are 2 things you can do:

1. If FaceID is set up, you can look at the screen and it should automatically unlock, allowing you to repeat step 1
2. If the above doesn’t work, swipe up from the bottom of the screen, type in your passcode, and you should be brought to your Home Screen. Now, swipe down from the top of your screen. You should be brought to your lock screen, and you can repeat the original step 1.

Hope this helps!

I’ve tried everything above and didn’t work, but my wallpaper font color changed after my phone went into lock mode after it was locked and evidently while working in my yard in my back pocket it attempted to unlock itself.

For me, it’s a similar issue, not exactly the same, yet just as annoying. So I am using a Mac OS Ventura wallpaper on my iPhone 14 pro running iOS 17. I have set the fonts on the Lock Screen to have the default translucent colour scheme. The problem is that when I press the side button or tap on the screen and it lights up, the colour of the fonts looks kinda washed up or faded and unpleasant. This remains until Face ID recognises me, and unlocks the phone, and that’s when the font colour changes to normal/translucent. I tried using the factory wallpapers like the one that comes with iOS 17, and this issue doesn’t repeat on those wallpapers. I wonder if others are facing the same issue.

It doesn’t

The colour prints have changed on my iPhone 7plus

I was just struggling with this! I had to just restart my phone.

hit volume up then volume down (fast), then quickly hold the lock button until you get the option “slide to power off”.

After it fully powers off, you’ll hold the lock button to power it back on. It should be fixed after that :)
