S23+ updated and now I can't change AOD clock style

[userhZYG9dELL9]

My Samsung S23+ updated today and the clock style on the Always on Display screen changed. I can no longer adjust it like I used to because there is no Clock Style option under Settings > Lock Screen (actually it now says Lock Screen and AOD). Can anyone help? I need a larger, brighter clock because I use my phone as my alarm clock and can't see it from my bed now.

I found that option but why can't I adjust the brightness. I can't see the information when it's on lock

The option isn't available on the S24's to adjust the brightness

Is it available on the S23?

I can't seem to adjust my brightness either, I use my phone as a clock to see what time it is during the night but it is so dim that I can't even read it.

[GaryB82]

Yeah it's available for the S23's with Goodlock lockstar

[userlOgPWex6cW]

So there is no other way of doing it without downloading Goodlock Lockstar?

That ONLY changes the clock on the LOCK SCREEN.
I want to be able to change the clock on Always On Display and can't get anything to work!

It's not available on the S23+, either.  Can no longer double tap the clock on the AOD and very simply adjust the clock brightness as before the UI update. I can find no way to adjust that.  It is on an auto adjust now where it dims and brightens depending upon the light in the room for example.  I'm not concerned with clock styles or colors, just brightness.  It's so dim!  I also tried the GoodLock/LockStar thing and the AOD clock is STILL dim.

The brightness slider is inside of the newest version of lockstar 6.1.0.11 which is rolling out you also have to have your AOD updated to version 8.7.99.11

Got mine back, all is good now!

I hopped on here because I had the same issue after the software update and it annoyed me.  While GaryB82 is correct in that the AOD clock is linked to the Lock Screen clock just to put it in laymen's terms the 2 clocks are no longer independent of each other in the style you select. Whatever you pick for lock screen that will be your AOD clock style as well.
