There are currently only two ways to change the clock position on your iPhone's lock screen.

  • Use the Widgets app to move it to the "Widget Location"
  • Use the Depth Effect to visually change the clock's position

  1. Download WidgetClub.
  2. Open the app and tap the "Lock Screen" tab.

Key Point

If you're concerned about having two clocks displayed, we recommend matching the color of your iPhone clock with your wallpaper! To achieve this, choosing a solid-color wallpaper is key!

2. Using Depth Effect to Change the Clock Position

What is the Depth Effect?

Depth Effect is a new feature introduced with iOS 16, which adds a sense of depth to the lock screen wallpaper, making the clock appear behind the photo. By utilizing this effect, you can visually change the clock position.

How to Set Up Depth Effect

Preparation

  • Prepare an image with the subject clearly in the center!

Since Depth Effect recognizes the subject and hides the clock behind it, you need to use an image where the subject is clearly distinguishable. (In my experience, the recognition was quite strict.)
