Move the Clock on a Samsung Galaxy S21 Lock Screen

Use the lock-screen editor to inspect clock controls on a Galaxy S21. Moving the clock depends on software version, with Samsung’s LockStar module as another route.

On a Galaxy S21, wake the lock screen and touch and hold it; unlock the phone if prompted. Select the clock in the editor to view its available style and layout controls. Clock repositioning depends on the One UI version and the controls available on your specific device.

Try the built-in lock-screen editor first

  1. Wake the phone so the lock screen is visible.

  2. Touch and hold the lock screen. If asked, unlock the phone to enter the editing view.

Changing the clock’s style is not necessarily the same as changing its position. Samsung identifies moving the lock-screen clock to a chosen position as a One UI 6 feature; this does not guarantee the same control on every Galaxy S21 model, carrier build, region, or software version.

Use LockStar if you need more placement control

If the built-in editor does not offer the layout you want, check Samsung’s Good Lock app for the LockStar module. Samsung describes LockStar as a way to change the lock-screen clock’s location and style, and says it can relocate lock-screen components and adjust clock designs and sizes.
