Change the Lock screen clock or add a widget
The Lock screen clock is separate from the Home screen widget. On supported devices, touch and hold the Lock screen to open its editing controls. Select the clock to change its style, or choose Add widgets (sometimes shown as + Widgets), select a clock option, and tap Done. Samsung’s Lock screen feature instructions and Galaxy widget instructions describe these controls; the labels and layout can differ by model and One UI version.
Show the time while the screen is off
Enable Always On Display if your Galaxy supports it. On newer software, look under Settings > Lock screen and AOD > Always On Display. Older versions may use different menu labels. Samsung describes AOD as a way to view the time, date, notifications, missed calls, and other supported information with the screen turned off; its AOD instructions also cover timing options.
