Yo, that’s weird. I think it might be because of the Depth Effect on the wallpaper. Sometimes the iPhone shrinks the clock to adjust for the background. You can try this:


1. Hold down on your lock screen, tap "Customize," and see if there’s a Depth Effect toggle. If it’s on, turn it off and see if the clock stays normal.


2. Also, if you’ve got widgets on the lock screen, they could be messing with the clock size. Try removing them to check if that fixes it.


3. Could be the wallpaper too! Some wallpapers just make the phone adjust things. Try changing it to a simple one and see if it still shrinks.


If none of that works, check for iOS updates. Apple sometimes has these random bugs they fix in updates.


Let me know if that helps!
