Always on Display turns off with iOS 16.2

Mine started magically working recently, even though I'm still on 6.3.1. Perhaps it had to relearn my usage habits? No idea, just glad it seems to be working again, at least for my iPhone 14 Pro. Hopefully they sort this out for others soon!

I have the same problem.

Unfortunately none for the force restart suggestions fix it for me.

I’m guessing it’s some algorithm getting itself messed up.

I’ll think about joining the beta program and use the feedback app there. Might help 😊

I’ve done the hard reset about a hundred times in the last few months, and it never fixed it for me either. Strangely enough, the AOD suddenly started working flawlessly for about a week last week, but after I had to power the phone off and back on yesterday to deal with a glitch, it went back to its previous random evening blackouts. Frustrating. Lesson learned, I won’t be rushing to buy the next new model.

"Always on" on Android means exactly that. On 24/7 until "I" not Samsung or Apple decide to turn it off. Google seems to get that ALWAYS means just that so I don't need Apple to dictate or select what's best suited to my needs.

Starting to feel I made a huge mistake going from Android to Apple.

Device: iPhone 14 pro 256GB

iOS: 16.4.1

I keep finding that the AOD option under Settings>Display keeps getting toggled off.

i have set a "Do not Disturb" Focus to turn on every night at 10:30pm and to turn off at 6:00am every morning. As part of the Focus, i have toggled AOD off during its duration. at 6am, when the focus goes back to normal. the AOD option continues to be toggled off.

Is anyone else experiencing similar complaints?

Apple, please fix this issue! I’ve just purchased a 14 pro and have it run in iOS 16.6. I have seen the lists in this thread but none of the situations apply to my situation. My phone is just lying facing up, no do not disturb or any other mode switched on and the AOD keeps turning off after about 30 seconds. I’m really disappointed because I intended to use the AOD as an alternative bedside clock. Please make sure the AOD is ALWAYS ON.

More often than not, my AOD is in fact not always on. It also will randomly turn on (not due to any event like a notification) only to turn off moments later. The marquee feature of the iPhone 14 is broken.

I hope this is fixed in iOS 17.More often than not, my AOD is in fact not always on. It also will randomly turn on (not due to any event like a notification) only to turn off moments later. The marquee feature of the iPhone 14 is broken.

Hope it works for you! For me I'm mostly having problem with AOD turning off when I turn off the lights, then it turns off in 30 seconds even if I had just put it down. If I turn on the lights then it no longer turns off. I wish there was just an option to keep AOD, like, always on, no matter what.

I am having the same issue from the moment I installed iOS 17 on my iPhone 14 pro max , it worked fine for me on iOS 16. Apple have completely ruined always on display, i contacted apple support a million times , they have no idea how to fix it and their solution everytime seems to be " wait for next update" . It baffles me that a feature that has the word "always" in it doesn't stay always on. My iPhone is like one of those cheap Chinese ripoffs of iphones that you buy for 50$ at wish.com. I am just waiting for S24 ultra to switch from this useless phone.

A few days ago I changed from Samsung S24 Ultra to iPhone Pro Max, and I'm already thinking about undoing the change and going back to Android precisely because of this incredible problem. I work at night, and the fact that as soon as it gets dark the AOD turns off (does Apple know what "always" means?) is bothering me a lot, apart from the fact that I like to have it active on the bedside table while I sleep. Very disappointed with some things on iOS, but this one in particular seems like a joke to me.

I don’t have that issue because I have an iPhone 14 Pro and the Always On Display works fine

This is not a meaningful or useful response.

This is happening to me also. When will there be a fix. Apple is letting us down here. I’ve tried everything. Help Apple.

Same here, brand new pro max initially setup with backup install from 12 pro (so always running 16.2)
