How to remove wallpaper on Always-on Display in iPhone

The innovation in the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max smartphones is good. But not all users like the display of wallpapers on the Always-on Display. Since, due to habit, it seems that the screen has not gone out. That is, the smartphone did not go into standby mode. Yes, and the battery mode AoD eats up mercilessly. Apple developers offer 2 solutions to this problem.

 

How to remove wallpaper on Always-on Display in iPhone

 

You need to go to "Settings", go to the "Screen and brightness" menu and deactivate the "Always on" item. But then we get the iPhone 13 screen, no innovation. There are more flexible options for solving the problem.

 

The best way is to dim the AoD screen. First, the smartphone will consume less. Secondly, it is still stylish, the function will work and delight the user. And thirdly, the brightness of the screen will not create inconvenience regarding the standby mode and the transition to it. To dim, follow these steps:

 

• Go to "Settings" and find the "focus" menu. Relevant for iOS 16.
• Find the “+” icon located in the upper right corner of the screen and click on it.
• Select the Custom menu.
• Set a name for your own menu (whatever you like).
• Click on the Adjust Focus button.
• In the "People" section, select the users whose notifications you want to receive in AoD mode.
• In the "Applications" section, the same manipulations for installed programs for notifications.
• Be sure to click the "Finish" button (in the upper right corner of the screen), otherwise nothing will be saved.
• In the "Settings" item, you need to activate the "Dim lock screen" switch.
• In the same place, you need to turn off the switch “Hide notification stickers”.
• By the way, there you can also set the schedule for the created preset and select filters for focusing.

 

This method has only one obvious drawback - the corresponding icon will always be shown in the status bar. Which is very annoying for many users.

Disable Always-on Display Wallpaper in iPhone - Method 2

 

It works only after updating iOS to version 16.2 beta 3. Here, Apple developers have already added a full-fledged menu for managing AoD. Apparently this is a test mode to see how relevant the problem is for users. The list of actions is much smaller:

 

• Go to "Settings".
• Screen & Brightness menu.
• Menu "Always on".
• And we select the functions of interest - enable or disable: AoD, notifications and wallpaper demonstrations.
