Time format on lock screen

cfml

Hi,

On my Pixel 6 I've set the time format to 24 hours, yet on the lock screen the time is still shown in 12-hour-format. Is there a separate setting I missed for the time format on the lock screen? It's not a big deal, just something I'd prefer. ;-)

Thank you!

cfml I had a P6 Pro for the past 8 months, before moving to a P7 Pro. I too use the 24 hour clock for everything. I don't remember having this issue on my P6, and don't have it on my P7 either, nor do I remember having to change the setting in more than one place.

the only thing I can think of is that it is something unique to the P6?

As per my knowledge there is no separate setting for the format at lockscreen. At least it does not take the format of the main clock. It depends on the country you selected for input language. Using 'English (United States)' causes the lockscreen to display 12h format. You might select a country where 24h is common.

ReadOnlyUser You're right, during installation I had chosen English and it didn't occur to me that I could change that to a different variant. I changed it to "English (Germany)" and the time display on the lock screen is now 24 hour format, too.

It makes total sense, after all a locale consists of a language and a region and applies region specific settings.

Thank you !

For a Pixel 8 UD1A.230803.041.2023102300 I am experiencing this same issue. USA based (12 hour time is the norm).

System -> Date & time -> Use local default is disabled, Use 24 hour time is enabled. When P8 is unlocked it correctly displays 24 hour time, however, on lock screen 12 hour time is displayed.

I am not experiencing this same issue with Pixel 7 on same version of gos.

This is still happening on UD1A.231105.004.2023110700, now with a different device, a p8p. Pixel 7 still correctly displays 24hour time on lock screen.

This problem was occurring in a user profile. I was able to solve this by setting 24-hour time in the main profile. Once I did that, the secondary profile acknowledged the 24 hour setting.

Thanks for reporting back! This may be one of the many things where the owner-profile settings control a core system behavior. If that's by design, I guess it would be good for secondary profiles to hide the format setting. If this is repeatable by others, it might make sense to file an issue.
