I want to move the clock on my iPhone to the bottom. Why can’t I??

I want to move the clock on my Lock Screen to the bottom. Why can’t I? Samsung does this. It’s a basic feature. Why hasn’t Apple made this more customizable?

Click on the screen but not on any icon until they all jiggle.

Drag the clock to where you want it and click on the screen again to stop the jiggle.

The lock screen is not customizable. No one here in this user-to-user forum can answer "why" Apple has made particular decision. You should let Apple know your thoughts here:

I have no trouble moving it.

To get it to the lowest row you have to move one of the other apps out first.

You were able to move the clock on the lock screen?

Sorry I was late.

These pages software are kinda goofy today.

That doesn't look like the Lock screen. It looks like one of your Home screens. In the original post, the OP said (bold mine):

I can't figure out a way to do that.

I didn't even read that part and assumed they meant just moving the clock icon.

The lock screen is not mentioned in the title but is in their reply.

Indeed. It was a bit confusing.

You can't do that.

If the feature is important to you then you should buy a Samsung.

Moving clock display on lock screen

How do I change the clock position on my iPhone 10?

Click on the screen but not on any icon until they all jiggle. Drag the clock to where you want it and click on the screen again to stop the jiggle.

How do I move the clock on my Lock Screen?

Way 5. Go to the Settings menu and select Display. Tap on the Lock screen section. Turn off the Always show time and info option. By doing this, you will prevent the clock from appearing on the display when the phone is locked.
