Is there a way to increase the date size on the iPhone Lock Screen separately from the time?

After the latest update on lock screen the time is huge and now the size of the date is sooo small I can’t read it anymore and, unlike the time, I can’t seem to make it bigger.


Can anyone tell me how I can increase the date size (not the time)???

Take a screenshot, and spread two fingers apart in the preview window that pops up —it will increase, indeed —but not on a live count.

Huh? I don't think you understand what the question is at all. On the Lock Screen the date is displayed above the time. They want the date, which of course changes daily, to be larger. There is NO WAY to make that happen, so your solution to spread two fingers apart is absolutely not going to help this user get a larger date on the Lock Screen. In other words, the date size is hard coded into iOS and is not user adjustable at all.
