iPhone Standby Mode: Setup, Customization, and Best Uses

Enabling Standby Mode

• 💡 To enable Standby Mode on your iPhone, navigate to the Settings app and find the 'Standby' option.
• ✅ Ensure the Standby mode toggle is switched to the on position.

Display and Notification Settings

• ⏰ Within the display settings, you can choose how the screen behaves: automatically turn off, turn off after 20 seconds, or never turn off.
• 🌙 The Night Mode feature can be enabled to display a red tint, reducing distraction in low light conditions.
• 👆 For notifications, you can choose to show previews on tap only, meaning content is hidden until you interact with the screen.
• 🏃 Motion to Wake can be enabled if the display is set to turn off automatically, allowing the screen to activate with detected movement.

Using Standby Mode

• 🔋 Standby Mode requires the iPhone to be charging and positioned in a horizontal orientation.
• 🕰️ When active, it displays a clock, calendar, and customizable widgets, offering glanceable information.
• ↔️ You can swipe left or right to switch between different widget views, including photos, clocks, and other customizable options.
• 🖼️ To view photos, swipe to the photo widget and then swipe up or down to browse through albums or specific photos.
• 🎨 Different clock styles can be selected by swiping left or right on the clock display.
• 🔴 The red tint of Night Mode becomes visible in very low light, making the display less intrusive while still readable.
