Question 2 of 6:
What changes can I make to the time if my phone isn't jailbroken?

You can change the font size. This can be really helpful if part of your wallpaper image is being blocked by the time on your lock screen. To change the font size, visit the Settings app, then click Display & Brightness. From there, click Text Size. Note the slider on the bottom of the screen and drag it to the right to make the font size bigger and to the left to make it smaller. [7] X Research source

You can switch from a 12-hour clock to a 24-hour clock. To change from the standard 12-hour clock to a 24-hour clock (A.K.A. military time), first visit the Settings app. Then, click General, followed by Date & Time. From there, you'll be given the option to enable 24-hour time at the top of the screen. [8] X Research source

You can change the time zone. If you'd like to switch time zones on your phone, go to Settings and click General. Next, scroll down to select Date & Time. From there, you can turn off the Set Automatically option by clicking the button to the right side of the text. This will prompt you to select a time zone of your choice on the Time Zone row right below. [9] X Research source
