Is it possible to set different Always-On display settings for different times of the day


Yes, it is possible to set different Always-On display settings for different times of the day on the iPhone 16 Pro. This feature is managed through the Focus modes introduced in iOS 16.4, allowing users to automate when the Always-On display is active based on their daily routines.

How to Set Different Always-On Display Settings

1. Open Settings: Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.

2. Focus: Select Focus from the menu. Here, you can create or modify existing Focus modes (like Work, Personal, Sleep, etc.).

3. Customize Focus Mode: Choose a Focus mode to customize. You can set specific times for this mode to activate (e.g., during work hours).

4. Always-On Display Settings: Within the Focus mode settings, you can specify whether the Always-On display should be enabled or disabled during that time. For example, you might want it active during work hours but turned off in the evenings.

5. Schedule: You can also set schedules for when these Focus modes activate, allowing for automated control over your Always-On display settings throughout the day.

Benefits

- Tailored Experience: This feature allows users to tailor their phone's display behavior to fit their daily schedules, enhancing usability and reducing distractions during specific times.

- Battery Management: By turning off the Always-On display during certain hours, users can also help manage battery life more effectively.

In summary, the iPhone 16 Pro's Always-On display can be customized to activate or deactivate based on different times of the day through the Focus modes, providing a flexible and user-friendly experience.
