iOS 16 Lock Screen question

[dj56]

I want to modify the clock font after upgrading to iOS 16 without having to choose a new background image. I can’t seem to customize what is already existing. It wants me to “add new”. Is it possible to modify my already existing one?

You can customize on an existing wallpaper. In Wallpaper settings, after hitting customize, tap on the time field and the font & color options will pop up. I just tried it on a couple of mine.

Only if you can re-add it as a new wallpaper. If not, you can't customize it.

I'm able to modify the font on my existing wallpapers.

I think he's referring to the one that's there when you restore a backup, for example. Or the one that's there by default as soon as you upgrade to iOS. You can't customize that without first adding a new wallpaper. You can add the same wallpaper you had (if you can still find it!), and then customize it. But you can't customize it "out of the box" so to speak. At least that's been my experience, and at least some others in these forums have had the same experience.

This has been my experience so far.

Thanks, that's a helpful explanation. I had assumed everyone was adding new wallpapers like mad after upgrading.
