There are third-party apps that will do that. Also, if you have an Apple Watch, you can set it to chime on the quarter hour.

I just want the old Swiss clock back for easier reading.

I‘ve tried this and I can get a clock face like the old one, but the widget is way bigger. I tried to resize it and then it reverts back to the „new“ IOS26 look 😕

The ‘glass’ style clock on the lock screen is hard to read & not disability friendly. Apple needs to fix this.

How were you able to change the color of the bottom row of your Home Screen. Mine is grey where yours looks more black?

Thank you for your time.

I find it sad how people are simply unable to adapt to change.

Indeed. I believe it's key to (my) cognitive health to keep learning new things and adapting to change.

But those widgets are all much larger. Did you find a way to make them smaller?

You cannot change the size of the widgets. You are limited to the sizes the developer offers.

@Tamkatseki. How did you manage to change the font on the lock screen clock? Thank you.
