Time is not displayed on lock screen
After upgrading to IOS 11, my phone no longer shows time on lock screen. Need to unlock the phone to check the time.

Hi there, burugupalli!
From your post, I see that you have been using iOS 11 and have noticed that since updating, the time no longer appears on your Lock screen. I’d be more than happy to help!
The first recommendation I have is to restart your iPhone, if you have not already. You can follow instructions here to do that: Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.
If the time still does not show after restarting, make sure your iOS is up to date; iOS 11.0.1 has been released, and may help: Update the iOS on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.
Should the time still not be visible, please reinstall iOS 11 using the steps under “Put your device in recovery mode and set it up again” here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. Even though the title of the article doesn’t exactly match your issue, the steps to reinstall are the same. Reinstalling iOS 11 won’t remove any content from your iPhone, but I would still recommend backing up before beginning: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support.
If you continue to have trouble with your time displaying on the Lock screen, don’t hesitate to respond back.
Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! Have a great day.

It did it only once and did a weird turn on animation it was like pixels and the touch button didn’t work
Same issue on my iPhone 7 running 11.2.5. Found that if I plug in the charger and turn phone off/on it fixes the issue at least temporarily.
Hey I have the same problem.....I dunno how to fix it unless I restart my phone
Well, the charger plug-in no longer works. However, I did notice that the issue only appears once the battery level hits 30% and below. Not that solves the issue!
