Can I customize the clock position, color, and iPhone lock screen? Can not?

For iPhone users, the “lock screen” may be the most frequently seen. The lock screen has a clock at the top, which is convenient when you want to quickly check the time.

Generally, the iPhone lock screen has a clock at the top, and various notifications are displayed below it. Then, can I customize the position and color of the clock on the lock screen by myself?

You can't change the position of the "clock" on the iPhone lock screen! Can colors be customized?

In conclusion, the position and size of the clock displayed on the iPhone's lock screen cannot be changed in the latest "iOS 14.8" at the time of writing (mid-September 2021). The clock display is fixed at the top of the lock screen.

Regarding the color of the clock, it seems that you can not change it to your favorite color. However, by changing the lock screen image, the color of the clock will automatically switch to "white" or "black".

For example, in the case of “iPhone 12 Pro”, if the wallpaper is black, the clock color will be white, and if the wallpaper is white, the clock color will be black. Consideration is given so that the visibility of the clock is not impaired depending on the type of wallpaper.

I tried some of the pre-installed wallpapers on my iPhone and most of the time the clock was white. Unless it is very difficult to see, the color of the watch is considered to be white.

Also, if you can't make it your favorite color or position, some people may think of ``hiding the clock itself'', but it seems that this is also impossible at the time of writing. If you find that the clock gets in the way of your favorite wallpaper, adjust the size of the wallpaper.
