The world clock widget on my lock screen currently displays London time, but I'm unable to change the city. Could anyone advise on how I might alter the city displayed? The clock app's world clock tab doesn't include London, and the widget continues to show only London.

@theTinkerr Long press on your lock screen to edit it. Unlock your phone if needed. Click on the world clock widget. Then click on that same clock widget again. It will open a screen with Add city at the top. Click the magnifying glass and type in the city that you want to use. Then, this is the secret part,  click the Change text in the middle of the screen under the city name.

@LongHiker When I long press on the screen to edit it and then click on the widget, all I get is this menu where again if I select the world clock widget, all I see is London. It doesn't open any add city screen šŸ˜•

@theTinkerr After you get that screen, click the widget again. Then you will be taken to a screen to search for a city. 

[Edit] I updated my original instructions with that info.

@LongHiker I also tried that. All it says is widget area full. When I make space for the clock widget and click on it, it just adds the London clock again as shown in the original post.
It works fine on my home screen with the dual clock widget but not working on my lock screen for some reason.

@theTinkerr I think that you are doing the 2nd click down on the widget window below. That isn't where you want to click. Do the 2nd click on the existing World clock widget on your lock screen. So up under the clock.

@LongHiker, you're a lifesaver! I've been wrestling with this, trying Gemini, ChatGPT, even Google, nothing worked. You nailed it, though! It's fixed, thanks a million:fire:šŸ™
