How Do I Put a Clock on My Lock Screen?

Adding a clock to your Android phone’s lock screen can be a great way to keep up with the time without having to unlock your device. Additionally, some phones can use an always-on display, which puts a clock on the screen even when the phone is in sleep mode. If you’re looking to add a clock to your lock screen, you can do so by following a few simple steps. Unfortunately, phones currently running Android 12 do not allow you to customize the clock in any way unless you happen to have a Pixel phone. Then on a Pixel running Android 12, you can open the clock app, tap the menu button and use the Screen saver option to display a digital or analog clock. Otherwise, the clock is on by default, and it only changes based on certain elements—like when you have unread notifications showing on your lock screen. Devices running Android 11 or older should still be able to turn the clock on, and in some cases, customize the style. You should now be able to turn on the lock screen’s clock, as well as customize the styling of it.
