Create a custom iPhone Lock Screen

So I couldn’t do it either… until I changed to an ios26 background. Then the handle showed up. I don’t know if you can do the large clock with any background. I think it has to be an iOS 26 background first.

I e tried this numerous times. I’ve followed the instructions to the letter. There is no “handle” to resize the clock.

I am experiencing this same thing

only the first clock selection is capable of this feature. Make sure you’ve selected the first clock.

I use a third party widget that allows resizing.
