Always on Display turns off with iOS 16.2
So just upgraded to 16.2 and now my always on display turns off in a couple minutes or so.
this seems to be a bug
iPhone 14 Pro Max
Ditto. In fact, it’s gotten a bit worse.

See→Use Always-On display with your iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max - Apple Support
Specifically:
Always-On display goes dark when you don't need it
To save battery life, the display is completely dark when:
- Your iPhone is lying face down
- Your iPhone is in your pocket or bag
- Sleep Focus is on
- Low Power Mode is on
- Your iPhone is connected to CarPlay
- You're using Continuity Camera
- You haven't used your iPhone for a while (your iPhone learns your activity patterns and turns the display off and on accordingly, including if you set up an alarm or sleep schedule)
- Your iPhone detects that you moved away from it with a paired Apple Watch (Always-On display will turn on when your Apple Watch is close to your iPhone again)

I have a iPhone 14Pro
iOS 16.3.1 and my AOD is always on
even at night it is on
Not sure what is up with some people having issues?
Lawrence: You have got to stop reposting this when it clearly does not apply.
Right. That's not useful, which is why this thread exists in the first place.
Good to know, thank you!
My always on display won’t stay on for my iPhone 14 pro max, how do l fix this problem?
don’t bother i restored mine still doing it
That’s disappointing. Thanks for letting me know!
Same here. Like you’re using my iPhone 14 pro max.
so, what do you think, is it software or our phones?
The software!
Today the AOD is working. I think Apple is employing a very imprecise algorithm to determine whether to remain on or turn off. It’s annoying. If I’ve enabled AOD, the display should remain on.
Thanks. I’ll provide the feedback to Apple. Unfortunately, asking Siri for the time would wake up my wife and the dogs. ;-)
That could indeed be a problem. I have no spouse and the cats don't care.
I’m on a cruise, and to use their Wi-Fi I had use airplane mode. For the first time since getting my iPhone 14 Pro Max, my screen display has stayed on 24 7.!!!!
My phone is in airplane mode when I am at home, and the display still turns off.
