Hi MsMaude,


It sounds like you have questions related to customizing your Lock Screen in iOS 16. The support article Create a custom iPhone Lock Screen outlines that process and options in greater detail. Specifically related to the clock and image are the following:


"Change the clock style on the Lock Screen


You can change the font and color of the date and time on your Lock Screen.

  1. Touch and hold the Lock Screen until the Customize button appears at the bottom of the screen.
  2. Swipe to go to the Lock Screen you want to change, tap Customize, then tap the Lock Screen image.
  3. Tap the time, then choose a font and color.


To reset the date and time, see Change the date and time on iPhone."


and


"Customize your Lock Screen photo


If you choose a photo for your Lock Screen, you can reposition the photo, change the photo style, and more.

  • Reposition your photo: To reposition your selected image, pinch open to zoom in on it, drag the image with two fingers to move it, then pinch closed to zoom out.
  • Change the photo style: Swipe left or right to try different photo styles with complementary color filters and fonts.
  • Create a multilayered effect: If you have a photo that supports layering—like an image with people, pets, or the sky—tap the More button at the bottom right, then choose Depth Effect.
  • Note: The multilayered effect is available on supported models. Layering may not be available if the subject is too high, too low, or obscures too much of the clock.
  • Set the shuffle frequency: If you choose Photo Shuffle, you can preview the photos by tapping the Browse button, and set the shuffle frequency by tapping the More button, then selecting an option below Shuffle Frequency."


Regards.
