Customize iPhone Font Time
With iOS 16, the lock screen has gone through a major overhaul and so has the look of the times. They used to be sleek and minimalistic, now the font looks a lot more playful.
Not your taste? It is possible to give the font the familiar look again. In addition, there are more fonts to choose from. In total there are eight different fonts. You can also give it a different color.
Here’s how to change the time font:
- Wake iPhone from sleep by tapping it and unlock it with Face ID;
- Hold your finger longer on the screen;
- Tap ‘Edit’ and select the time;
- Choose a font. The second from the top left resembles the font on iOS 15;
- Tap the cross and select ‘Done’ in the top right.

It is not possible to change the font of the date. You can, however, display additional information there by placing a widget next to it. The date will then be abbreviated, along with information from the Calendar, Condition, Reminders, Clock, or Weather app.
