Many users are having doubts about how to increase the lock screen’s clock size on iOS 26. Released on September 15, it’s the nineteenth release of Apple’s iPhone operating system. It has introduced some new features and improvements, but users are also facing some challenges. One of them is resizing the clock to blend seamlessly into the lock screen background.
How to make the clock bigger in iOS 26?
iOS 26 has introduced a good feature that allows users to increase the size of their lock screen clock, enabling it to expand across half of the screen. This feature is useful to those who like to see their clock in huge letters for easy reading. It is to be noted that your wallpaper should have space for making the clock huge. If it doesn’t, then the feature will likely not appear. Moreover, if you have any widgets on your lock screen, they will ultimately be dragged down to make space for the resized clock. Now, if you’re wondering what the step-by-step process of expanding the clock is, then the details are below:
Firstly, use the on button to open your lock screen and long-press anywhere to get the option. A customized button will pop up; tap on it. There will be a small handle on the clock, which will help you in resizing. You can increase or decrease the size of the clock as preferred, using the handle. Then, adjust the clock’s size if it’s too big. If you want to make any more changes, go for it, and then click on the save button.
Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering, Craig Federighi, released a statement about what users could expect from this new version. He said, “iOS 26 shines with the gorgeous new design and meaningful improvements to the features users rely on every day, making iPhone even more helpful.”
Federighi further added, “Experiences are more expressive and personal, from the Lock Screen and Home Screen, to new capabilities across Phone and Messages that help users focus on the connections that matter most. And with powerful new Apple Intelligence capabilities integrated across the system, users can get things done easier than ever.”
