Why Are My Lock Screen Timers Blurred?

If your timers are blurred out on your lock screen, it’s caused by a privacy setting on your device.

To fix it:

Section titled “To fix it:”
  • Open the Settings app.
  • Tap Face ID & Passcode (or Touch ID & Passcode).
  • Scroll to Allow Access When Locked.
  • Turn on Live Activities.

This will unblur timers and other real-time updates on the Lock Screen.
