Is it Possible to Change or Remove the Lock Screen Clock of Android 12 Completely?

You can change the clock by using a screensaver. Just turn on the screensaver option and choose the analogue clock there. Now when locked, your mobile will show a Material You based analogue clock on the screen. You can turn on the screensaver option by following these steps:

Go to Settings and tap on Display
Tap on Screensaver
Turn the screensaver on and choose the relevant settings, like when to show the screensaver. Choose between digital and analogue clocks

Another option to change the clock is to use third party apps from the play Store. Some of them might need root access to make changes to your device, but those apps are not recommended as they may void the warranty of your device. So the better option is to always use the official ways to make changes to your mobile OS to customise it.

You can also hide the clock completely on the lock screen if you don’t wanna see it anymore.
