Good to know

  1. Dynamic clock only changes the clock size — the clock grows or shrinks to fit the lock screen content; it does not change the time format or the clock style.
  2. The other switches on the Lock screen page (Widgets on lock screen, Add users from lock screen, Use device controls) were left untouched in this recording.
  3. The setting is reached through Settings search here; the same page also lives under Settings > Display & touch > Lock screen.
  4. The clock on this Home screen reads 19:12 with the date above it; the Dynamic clock switch only affects the lock screen, not the Home screen widget.
  5. The search box in the screenshot reads “loc kscreen” — the handwriting input split the word; typing “loc screen” gives the same Lock screen result.
