Can't get rid of lock screen clock

[JoMega167]

Hey, after that One UI 7 update, I can't get rid of the clock on my lock screen! Now I've got two clocks. It used to let me choose "No Clock" in settings, but that option's gone. Check it out yourself!

You ever try restarting it and hard press on your lock screen bottom metal if it's asking to unlock you already in it to edit however you like

[JoMega167]

Yeah, I've done that also. The option for " No clock" is not there either.

It didn't work. The option to have "No Clock" is not there. I even put the phone in safe mode. Still nothing.

It's the same on my Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra.

I couldn't get rid of it but was able to change style and size.  On lock  screen, long press clock then tap clock. Options will show up.

Yeah, I'm able to change the clock... but i want to remove it. It was an option before the update.. smh...

I figured out a little cheat. If go into the clock setting by long pressing on the clock, go to style, and scroll over til it shows a round 8-bit looking clock. You can go into that option which opens up a clock face customizer. Create a new face, delete what auto populated, hit the + symbol, select "text" and just hit the space bar once, It regesters as a character. Save and then apply the clock face. Now it's "gone"

Yes! This worked out! Its sad we have to go through all of this just to apply "No Clock". Thanks!
