iOS 27's New Compact Clock Gives Your Wallpaper Room to Breathe
MacRumors • • general
Key Points:
- iOS 27 introduces a new compact clock option for the Lock Screen that shrinks the time display to the size of the date and places it in the top row, allowing more of the wallpaper to be visible.
- This compact mode enhances wallpaper visibility by minimizing the clock's footprint, ideal for photos that benefit from full framing.
- Users can switch to the compact clock by customizing the Lock Screen, selecting the clock, and tapping the new compact mode icon in the Font & Color panel.
- The compact clock retains font, weight, and color customizations but disables the Liquid Glass slider, and it is applied on a per-Lock Screen basis rather than globally.
- iOS 27 is currently in public beta, with full release expected in September.
