iPhone's Lock Screen clock style not changing as expected?

This is a common issue with the newer iOS lock screen customization. The "Extend" clock style doesn't show its true size until the screen is locked. Here's what's happening and how to fix it:

The Issue:

· When editing the lock screen, the "Extend" style often appears smaller in edit mode.

· It only displays in its full, bold, extended format when your phone is actually locked.

Quick Fixes to Try:

1. Lock your phone to check - Simply press the side button to lock it, then wake it up to see if the clock appears large as intended.

2. Restart your iPhone - Sometimes a simple reboot fixes display glitches:

· Press and hold side + volume button

· Slide to power off

· Wait 30 seconds, then restart

3. Re-apply the clock style:

· Go to Settings > Wallpaper

· Tap your current lock screen

· Tap "Customize"

· Select the clock widget area

· Try switching to a different style, then back to "Extend"

4. Check for Focus modes - Some Focus modes can override lock screen settings:

· Go to Settings > Focus

· Check if any Focus is active

· Disable or customize Focus lock screen settings

5. Update iOS - Make sure you're running the latest version:

· Settings > General > Software Update

6. Reset lock screen (last resort):

· Create a new lock screen from scratch

· Choose a different wallpaper

· Apply the "Extend" style to the new setup

Important Note:

The "Extend" style is designed to be large and bold, spreading across the screen. If it's still appearing small when locked, there might be a bug or conflict with your specific wallpaper or iOS version.
