How to Get Big Numbers for Clock on iPhone Lock Screen in iOS 26

On iOS 26-running iPhones, the clock number size on the lock screen is set to Normal by default. However, you can extend it to half of the lock screen using iOS’s customization options. It’s a fairly simple process, and the steps are listed below.

To change the lock screen clock size on iPhone (iOS 26 or later):

Go to Your Lock Screen and Tap and Hold Anywhere.
Tap on Customize.
Tap and Hold the Bottom Right Corner of the Clock and Pull Down to Make it Bigger.
Now, Tap on Done at Top Right Corner.

That’s it! The clock numbers that appear on your lock screen are now much larger, and this change has been applied to your lock screen as well.

However, many times users are unable to enlarge the clock size because the resize option is not visible in the clock. This is because they selected the wrong font for the clock. Yes! In iOS 26, resizing is currently only possible in the Arabic Western font.

If you are also troubled by this problem, then simply select the Arabic Western font for your clock. After that, the option to drag and increase the clock size will start appearing on your screen. For this, go to the lock screen’s customize option and tap on the clock, then tap on the globe icon and select the Arabic Western font.
