More Intuitive Date Format for Bitmoji Clock Face

The new Bitmoji Clock Face displays the date as mm/dd. I live in Australia where dates are recognised as dd/mm. Can this clock face be updated to have a more intuitive date format that caters for everyone such as having the first three letters of the month and then the day number?

 

For example, today my watch displays "FRI, 4/5". Depending on where you live this could mean the 4th May or the 5th April (obviously May hasn't come yet but you get what I mean, its not free from confusion).

 

If it were updated to something like "FRI, Apr 5" then there is no confusion about the date and still wont take up too much space in the top right hand corner.

 

Hopefully you consider this suggestion! 🙂

Personally I would just like it as an option in the UK format. Aus is like UK.  please can we just have it as we read our date.  far too often with these updates the rest of the world is left out when it comes to format and we always have to vote for basic things.

 

I would like eg Fri 5 Apr or Fri 5/4 (Fri dd/mm) (UK/AUS format) so I don't get confused. Options so people can use the format they are accustomed to.

I would definitely love to be able to change the date format. Accidentally wrote the wrong date today as I was too used to just reading what's displayed on the clock face.

Completely agree, am from the UK and would like it as dd/mm - looked at my watch this morning and was incredibly confused as I thought it had somehow become May overnight

UPDATE!!

 

You can change the settings for date format to dd/mm.  The option is underneath the bit that gives you options to change your background colour!

 

If you installed the app yesterday 4th /5th april GMT then you'll need to do the update with in the app and then it'll give you the option of date format
