iOS 26 display zoom issue with alarm time on Lock Screen

I had the phone set on larger text via Display Zoom and since moving to ios26 the time doesn’t fit on screen when my alarm goes off - so it will appear as 07:… rather than 07:30

Changing the size of the time on the lock screen doesn’t help.

Adjusting the size of the time’s font doesn’t seem to have any effect at all.

Switching off the Display Zoom’s larger text does fix it but obviously then all text is smaller.


it seems like ios26’s larger text effects the alarm’s lock screen font size which previous iOS’s didn’t (and wouldn’t need to since the text is already very large)
