Unable to resize the clock on my iPhone 15 Pro Home Screen after iOS 26 update

I did however realize that certain backgrounds won’t allow that option. I was using the astronomy version and it didn’t allow it, I started a new one with colors and it worked. Hope that helps

I have seen it with a weather live screen also. Doesn’t work there either. We are still learning.

See if Apple Support's online article for iOS 26 (link blow) can help:

It has the steps to follow in order to make changes, and to change the look of the clock.

Create a custom iPhone Lock Screen - Apple Support

Else: Things you can do to customize the Home Screen:

• Add an app
• Add, edit, and remove widgets
• Move apps and widgets on the Home Screen
• Customize apps and widgets on the Home Screen
• Lock or hide or an app

you must use the leftmost font

You have to be using the first color. I have the iPhone 15 Pro as well and waiting on the 17 Pro to be delivered. And I tried it many times with the other colors and no luck. Until one of the professional tech reviewers wrote an article about how it only works with the first clock selection.

once in the screen edition mode, select the clock.

then select the first clock. Next step, size the boldness, then return to the edition screen where each section is highlighted and you will see like a thicker knob to press on and drag the clock downward so it could be larger.

So, I have found the stretch option only works for the first time font. When you select the time to change the color and font style it must be the first font no others stretch. Hope it helps

Yes we did that already, thx.

The first Font, colour makes no difference, you can use all 7 colours

Same here’s using the first font still doesn’t have the option to resize, changing the thickness is doable, just not making it fill my screen. iPhone 16 pro max here

The weather one worked on my end, must be little glitches here and there. I’m sure it’ll be fixed somehow.

So, I have found the stretch option only works for the first time font. When you select the time to change the color and font style it must be the first font no others stretch. Hope it helps
