Date not showing on Lock Screen?

Hi this is my first post on the community and I came here because I have a problem with my phone. I have an iPhone 4 that isn't jailbroken and I was about to unlock it when I realized the date was missing. I don't know what I did but last I remember I didn't even go in Settings when I last saw the date there. Does anybody know how to fix this?

iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.1

Hi coldheat,

If you haven't already done so, you may want to restart or reset the iPhone:

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Restarting your iOS device

1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.

2. After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

Resetting your device

If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

If the above does not resolve your issue, the next best step will be to restore your iPhone using a computer with iTunes. Please be sure to backup your iPhone first.

Choosing an iOS backup method (Should I use iTunes or iCloud to back up my iOS device?)

1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.

2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
