Unable to access color settings on multicolored clocks in Standby Mode on iPhone

If I go to Clocks in Standby Mode; after a long press; there is no white circular dot for color settings in the Multicolored Clock. Can't get it to appear and thus I can't change the clock color.


Any Fix?

Thanks.

It just happened to me after updating to iOS 17.4, but it applied to all color-configurable faces. After changing the chosen color, it locks that face with the color, and the edit option is gone.

I have the same exact issue on my 14 Pro Max. I am on iOS 17.4.1.


I find it interesting how the pictures and widgets pages are still somehow customizable, despite this bug.


I tried holding down for longer or tapping right before I hold down the screen during standby, but nothing seems to work. The strange thing is that this bug did not occur right after I started using Standby; it happened right after I customized the last and first clock pages. I was only able to customize these pages once each, which is strange.


I also tried restarting my iPhone from scratch but nothing worked. The same issue with Standby still persists.
