Everything you need to know about the iPhone 14 Pro's always-on display

The iPhone 14 Pro is the latest addition to Apple's smartphone lineup. Among its many innovations, it stands out for its always-on display, which allows certain useful information to be constantly displayed without having to unlock the phone. But how can you make the most of this feature?

Here are some tips to optimize the use of the always-on display on the iPhone 14 Pro.

What is the always-on screen?

Always-on display is a technology that allows the screen to remain constantly illuminated, but with reduced brightness and a minimalist display. This allows the user to quickly check the time, date, battery level, notifications, or music controls without having to touch the phone.

The always-on display consumes very little energy, thanks to OLED technology which turns off black pixels. The always-on display is also customizable, according to the user's preferences.

How do I turn the always-on display on and off on the iPhone 14 Pro?

The always-on display is enabled by default on the iPhone 14 Pro , but it can be disabled if desired.

To do this, simply go to your phone's settings, then to the "Brightness and display" section. You can then switch the "Always on screen" toggle to the off position.

You can also choose to enable or disable the always-on display depending on silent mode, do not disturb mode, or dark mode.

How do I customize the always-on display on my iPhone?

The always-on display can be customized to suit the user's tastes and needs. Users can choose the clock type, widget style, colors, animations, and element layout.

To do this, simply go to your phone's settings, then to the "Brightness and display" section. You can then tap on "Always-on display options" and change the settings to your liking.

You can also change the wallpaper of the always-on display, choosing from the images offered by Apple or using a personal photo.

What are the advantages of an always-on screen?

The always-on display offers several advantages to the user. It allows you to:

• Save time: there is no longer any need to unlock the phone or press the home button to view essential information.
• Conserving battery: avoid turning the screen on and off every time you want to check the time or notifications, which reduces energy consumption.
• Protecting privacy: you can choose to hide the content of notifications or disable the always-on display when the phone is placed face down or in your pocket, to avoid prying eyes.
• Personalize the phone: you can give your iPhone 14 Pro a unique look by choosing the always-on display design you like best.
