iOS 11 - Clock on lock screen disappears

After upgrading my iPhone SE to iOS 11, the clock on lock screen disappearred.

When I restart, the clock reappears, but again it disappears.

Is there any other solution other than restarting the iPhone?

iPhone SE, iOS 11

Looks like this is (maybe) a perm fix. I have had this issue since 11 and re-boot no luck, reset and reinstall from backup no luck, reinstall totally clean no luck. But this easy fix / workaround seems to have worked:


Settings -> Display -> View -> Zoomed and then Settings -> Display -> View -> Standard.


So far almost a full day and no disappearing clock.

I will try this particular wallpaper, even tho I don’t like the plain black. But I’ve tried every other suggestion made on here so I might as well. Personally I think it’s not connected to any wallpaper, notification, widget, etc. it’s just a horrible bug that happens randomly. They need to address this. Period. I’m on my 4th phone now with this issue.

Yep same here, This issue also followed me from iPhone 6s to the iPhone 8. The only conclusion I can come up with is that it might have something to do with my iTunes account because the problem comes back even when I configured my iPhone as a new iPhone.


I use my Gmail account go log into my iCloud and such. Maybe it has something to do with that? Anyone else?


I am also trying your wallpaper theory. I also never changed my wallpaper from default to custom. Now I have!


And I really hope Apple releases a software update soon because this is just really getting on my nerve. We pay so much money for an iPhone because we all love it's functionality but this is just taking waaaay to long.
