Why does my lock screen clock not change, and news and weather stay the same?

Oh yeah, I missed that post. Super Status Bar sure sounds pretty suspicious!

Yeah definitely.

I looked through the reviews on the Play Store page for Super Status Bar, and no one seemed to complain about that. So it's probably some other app ...

Have you tried uninstalling buttons remapper? Does that make any difference?

SOLVED!!!
First I want to thank all of you who were so generous with their time in trying to help me solve this puzzle.

The solution was in Settings > Display > Screen Saver!
There are a number of "savers," but I had chosen "News & Weather." Bad choice!
The news & weather hadn't updated since 2017! And the clock would show the correct time initially but wouldn't change at all.
Now I have selected something else and all is well!!!

Thanks again,
Stew

Thanks for the followup! That thought did cross my mind briefly, but I figured it couldn't be, considering how out of date that info is. Might be some part of the system Samsung just abandoned but forgot to get rid of.:-\

Hmm glad you solved it but don't see news and weather under those settings in screen saver

Maybe the old Google News & Weather app is still on the phone? That app was discontinued by Google back in 2018, which might explain why things are stuck in 2017 in the OP's screenshot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_News_&_Weather

Hmm not sure it would pop up on the lock screen , see my screenshot under lock screen widget it would be default Samsung weather but probably need baby routine added

But maybe it's different on an older phone like an S9?

I don't recall it being much different in those 2 settings mentioned lockscreen or screen saver

Yes, I think Samsung forgot to remove it and forgot that it needs some updating! Here's a picture of my Screen Saver screen.
Samsung Galaxy S9+ Android version 10 One UI version 2.5 << Perhaps I need to upgrade One UI to v. 3 or v 4? I thought this upgrade would be automatic, but apparently not.

So it was a option on older Andriod version, thanks for clearing that up .
