If you mean the icon for the Clock app, you cannot change it.

You can, however add clock widgets.

But you can create a shortcut for the Clock App and choose a different watch face. Smilin-Brian wrote this user tip about that --> https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-250011008

You don't mention which iPhone you have or what the iOS is. So my answer will work on an iPhone with iOS 26.


To customize the clock on the opening screen, open Settings > Wallpaper then tap the clock. You will see a screen similar to the one below that will allow you to select

  • the font
  • the font color, and
  • and whether you want it glass (transparent) or solid.
  • tap Done at the top, right or the screen when finished.


If this does not answer your question, then please provide more details and perhaps a screen shot.
