Changing the clock layout on lock screen

[midgo]

Turn on notifications for the lock screen. Don't select any apps if you don't want them though. This changes the clock layout to 00:00.

This doesn't work.
I haven't been able to find a theme that works either since the August update.
Something has changed:///

Works perfectly, many thanks for this simple tip.

to change the wallpaper on the lock screen to your own follow this.

open Samsung Themes.
scroll My Wallpaper selection at the top until you get + at the end.
tap +
You will then see your wallpaper as tiles, top left is From Gallery.
Tap that.
Choose your pic from your gallery.
Hit the lock screen icon on the bottom.
Move the picture to adjust as required.
Hit set as wallpaper.
Done.

False alarm, it worked yesterday and when I checked it today it reverted back to the original funky clock display. I'm running 7.0

Basic layouts like this should be available for such an advanced device. The answer for basic things like this shouldn't be "there's an app/theme for that". Small details like this shouldn't be missing from the OS.

Completely agree, especially since the AOD clock offers many configurations, you'd think Sammy gave thought to this need on the Security screen. Or at the very least have the SEC screen clock mimic the AOD screen... Just saying.... Especially since my AOD is set to off.

I was wondering this myself. I only was able to change the always on clock but the lock screen is always the same .

I went with my Mom who is in her 60s to make sure she didn't get ripped off by the salesman, and the way he did it the way it appears in magazines and in commercials with the two digits for the hour and the 2 for the minute on top of one another was for the only way for him to apply that setting and have it come up when you press the power key or volume rocker keys was to set the phones FONT settings to HUGE.
Which is a bummer cause HUGE just isn't feasible for the way and for the company I use and need my phone for. Having the FONT on HUGE shouldn't be the only way but unless they roll out a patch, which I don't think they will over a manner so miniscule, its best to wait for a stable ad free app that isn't a memory hog or malware or anything like that mess that comes with apps that promise the world and kill your phone!!!
Hope this helps
BTW This was at an AT&T Store in August of 2017

Is there a way to change the clock display on the lock screen on an S8? I've looked in settings and I can't find it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Only way to get rid of the annoyance of the lock screen clock is if you choose to have no lock screen at all. Although this isn't exactly safe.

I changed my phone theme to 'simple black line' which changed the lock clock to horizontal. Then I changed the icon theme back to original! It all worked out! You just cant change the lock screen image but you can change your home screen image
