Clock missing from lock screen after iOS 11 update

This has been addressed many many times on this post. You need to remove widgets. Some widgets are the cause of this issue. The one that I know caused my problem was the Discover CC. Ever since I removed it I have not had the issue.

If you read through all the posts, especially the ones over the past month, you will see that people have posted success with removing any bank widgets. I for one removed the Discover Card widget and have not had a problem since 11/24/17. I consider it vpermanent. I’ve gone through 4 phones and countless resets before finding this solution.

I've been having the same exact problem, restarting the phone provides a temporary fix for the problem but it's annoying when you have to restart your phone a few times a week because of this issue. Apple needs to get this figured out.

Just started happening for me. Blank screen when I swipe down. The clock, my notifications, all missing. Though the small clock reappears at the top when I swipe up as if looking through the notiffeed.

Even if the Discover App is a culprit there is still a root issue that's allowing an App to cause the clock and notifications to not show on lock screen.

I'm not sure if I saw any other posts mentioning that notifications too fail to show. I discovered this after getting a couple chimes on my phone and seeing it light up and then realizing the screen is blank save for my wallpaper. So as it turns out, when this issue manifests itself I'll get the audible alert from a notification, but the banner on lock screen does not appear and the clock is missing. Usually I'll just hit a button to check the time and find out my clock is missing and need to reset, so I was unaware of the issue with notifications until recently.

Something is wrong in the guts of iOS to allow this and Apple should find out what and why and if they need to tell developers to update their Apps then so be it. Why should we be forced to remove an App widget(s) that we may use and enjoy? I'd like to see a fix to this issue. We have several iOS devices, but so far have only experienced this with my 8 Plus and iPad Pro 10.5". I do use the Discover App and widget on both devices - I don't think my wife and daughter do on theirs however, so that may be why they haven't said anything.

I have submitted Feedback to Apple twice regarding this issue. Once for just my 8 plus then again just today because since the first submission of feedback I have encountered the issue on my iPad. Hopefully they can get it addressed so we can continue to use Apps and widgets that we have been using for some time.

Agreed. There are a couple glitches that appear between iOS and other apps. Not sure what the processes for testing with all the other apps but this one in particular Needs to be fixed at the source Since it seems to affect a lot of people.Right now we have a workaround that is better than what we had before but still not solution.

For me it was using the flashlight or camera shortcut on the lock screen several times a day. It would suddely stop showing the clock and the shortcuts and notifications stopped. When I don’t use them the issue doesn’t return. It’s proably a bug related to the fact that the shortcuts use the 3D Touch.

Something happened yesterday in Apple world. Both my iPad Pro and my iPhone 7, both with current iOS, lost the clock screen....again. Additionally, on my iPhone the home button froze up too. As usual, reboot is the temporary fix. This has not happened on either of the devices in aWhile. Nothing has changed on either of my Devices. Come on Apple… Figure out what’s happening. This is been going on way too long.

Same here.

After restart the clock comes back but after few hours is gone again. Applllllllllllle?

Same issue.

Both iPhone and iPad Pro exhibit this.

Annoying and surprising this was not picked up during beta testing. Appears widespread.

Same problem here, had it multiple times now, also during the beta...

Thank you for your suggestion but they do not work for me. It's as though it's become part of the wallpaper. Below is what my lock screen looks like after I have swiped down from the top.
