Here is how you change the lock screen text color on your iPhone (assuming you have iOS 27)


  1. Wake your screen by tapping it, but don't unlock it
  2. Press deeply into the screen until it zooms out a bit
  3. Tap "Customize"
  4. Tap the clock numbers
  5. You should now see a "Font & Color" screen pop up where you can adjust
  6. When you've selected the color and font you like, tap "Done" in the top right hand side of the screen
