How to easily turn off the Always-On display feature on the iPhone 14 Pro

When the iPhone 14 Pro believes you don’t need the Always-On function, it will turn it off automatically. If you set your iPhone 14 Pro-face down on a table, or if it detects that it has been placed in your pocket or bag, the display will turn black to preserve battery life (because you can’t see the phone screen anyhow). If you use an Apple Watch, the screen on the iPhone 14 Pro will also totally turn off if your phone detects your watch has moved too far away from it; the display will automatically wake up when you approach closer.

The Always-On features will be deactivated if you use the system Sleep mode with the Sleep Focus. This implies that the iPhone will not light brightly when you are asleep.

When you activate Low Power Mode, always-on is disabled. Although Always-On mode is very efficient, it still consumes some battery life, and Low Power Mode tries everything possible to preserve power. In regular usage, even with the always-on display turned on, your iPhone 14 Pro should last roughly as long as your previous iPhone.

If you haven’t used your phone in a while, your iPhone will switch off the Always-On display to save battery. So, if you place it in a drawer for long-term storage, the always-on display will switch off after a time.
