The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are the first Apple smartphones to offer an Always on Display function. But I prefer AOD more minimalist Android, with the screen turned off, without wallpaper where only the clock is visible. And recently, Apple allows to have this rendering natively in iOS 16. In this tutorial, I show you the method with and without hacking.

The Always On Display function is exclusive to iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Basically, Apple’s AOD is exactly like a normal iPhone locking screen, except that the screen is slightly darkened. But recently, in the 3rd beta of iOS 16.2, Apple added the possibility of deactivating the wallpaper on the Always We have a native manner.

But if it is still not minimalist enough for you, there is always the method with hack that I detail below. In the settings of iOS 16, we can go through the mode not disturbing to have a “real” always on minimalist, as we are used to Android smartphones.

How to have a real Always we display on your iPhone 14 Pro (max)?

To start, you must make sure you have activated the Always On Display function on your iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max.

1. Go to the Settings then in Brightness and display
2. Activate the switch entitled Always activated

Then, to have the famous “real” always on display as on Android, on your iPhone 14 pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max:

1. Go to the Settings then in Concentration
2. Press on Do not disturb Then Options
3. Activate the switch entitled Darken the locked screen
4. Before or after locking your iPhone, go into mode Do not disturb via the Control center

Subsequently, it will be enough to go into mode not disturbing via the IOS 16 control center. Swipe down from the top to the top right of your iPhone screen and press the button just to the left of the brightness bar, as illustrated in the video below.

• Remember to consult our full test of the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max test

Once activated, the locking screen will be completely darkened, giving the impression that the screen of your iPhone is off. And only the clock, the widgets (if you have put it) and the notifications (authorized manually) will be visible. In short, it’s like on an Android smartphone.

This solution remains a DIY and it is not optimal in 100% of cases. Do not disturb mode block notifications. So you will have to manually select applications and contacts to allow them to bypass the restrictions of the MODE Do not disturb. To do this:

1. Go to the Settings then in Concentration
2. Press on Do not disturb
3. Go to People and or Apps to grant authorizations and receive notifications

What do you think of this iOS 16 tip? You too find that Apple’s Always On Display is too busy? Or do you prefer the Apple solution to what we find on Android?
