iOS 26: All the New iPhone Lock Screen Customizations

[LordArchie]

Day to day, I keep it simple. No widget and no quick access buttons.. When I travel I add a couple of travel related widgets.

Resize Lock Screen Clock​

Doesn’t work on an iPhone 13 mini. 🤔

When I'm customizing the lock screen, 3D spatial is active, but once I save it the effect is not working anymore...anyone else with the same problem? (14pro)

In my case I found Reduce Motion was toggled on in Settings>Accessibility. Once toggled off the 3D effect stayed on the lock screen.

Oh, I thought you had to use the big ass clock to get the widgets to be at the bottom of the lock screen. Thanks for the tip!

the glass effect does not work when the clock font colour is the rainbow

I couldn’t get the time resizing to work on my 13 mini and then as a couple of people mentioned i changed to the first font and now it does. If i switch the font it goes back to being small again.

Holy crap are notifications hard to read depending on the photos rotating as my wallpaper. Who approved this? Had to turn off transparency, but now my homescreen wallpaper turned into a solid color and doesn't match the lock screen. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Creating a spatial scene is absolute garbage. Depending on the image, the preview may behave entirely differently than the final saved version. The animation will be different and the clock won't properly duck behind the portion of the image it did in the preview. It's great if it works right and trash when it doesn't.

It works for me (14pro), but ONLY when viewing the lock screen. i.e. tap a dormant phone, the screen lights up, and it has the 3d spacial effect. Once the phone is unlocked, the regular wallpaper doesn't have the 3d effect, which is a shame.

I got rid of the camera and flashlight buttons, but wish I could now put the widget bar at the very bottom of the screen...

I have tried everything I can think of, but for whatever reason, I cannot change the clock color to black. It will change to any other color. I know I gotta be missing something somewhere.

I couldn’t get black when it was in liquid, but when I switched just the clock to solid, it worked.
