I'm new to Samsung but I want to change the clock layout on the lock screen. Is there a way to do that?
I'm new to Samsung but I want to change the clock layout on the lock screen. Is there a way to do that?
Yes - Settings (I usually pull down the top banner and click settings in the top right) >> Lock screen and security >> Always on display
There are only a few to select from, but you can also download more from the app store.
I hope this helps.
CAN
This is an incorrect answer.
This will change the always on display clock. But if you press the power button the lock screen appears with the default clock.
Source: I have an S8 in my hand.
You can swap out the whole lock screen, but there doesn't seem to be a way to just change the clock style.
I hope Samsung add the choices from the Always on screen to the lock screen.
They have a couple of clock styles to choose from.
"Settings" > "Lock Screen and Security" > TAP the "Always On Display" (like the words, not the switch) > TAP "Digital Clock" (or the other clock styles if you want analog or something) > on the bottom left there's "Clock Styles" which give 4 different digital clock styles to choose from.
Or you can choose the other clock styles outside of the digital clock section.
I just did this on my S8+ right now.
That's not the lock screen... You're referring to the AoD screen.
Press your power button when you see that screen to view your lock screen.

There are 3 screens being discussed in this thread but the question only refers to 1 one them. Let's define the screens this thread concerns so we can make progress.
Screen 1: Always On
Screen 2: Lock Screen
Screen 3: Home Screen
I think everyone has figured out how to change the always on clock type.
BUT, what many of us are having trouble with is the clock type on Screen 2.
If anyone knows how to make this change please share.
Thank you.
My thing is... Does anyone actually spend time on the lock screen? My always on display is always on. Lol. I press power or home and facial recognition almost instantly unlocks the phone. So why so much bother about it? (this is a question, not a judgment.)
Thank you. One person with the correct answer.Only way to have a different clock on the lock screen is to get a different theme from the theme store.
Check this out. Droid Life has a video and you can see the changed lock screen. I asked in the comments but no answer.
