Multiple bugs/issues with iOS 17.02 and iPhone 15 Pro Max

Always On Display is enabled in the display settings and works as it always has. It is the new Standby Mode where the standby screen with clock or widgets goes black after a certain amount of time and then only comes back in with movement detection. Note that I only use this at night so perhaps this is how it is meant to work and the standby screen is not meant to literally be “always on”

Yes, this is how it works at night. I don't know if it's triggered by time or by ambient light. During the day, it will stay on in Standby Mode.

Hey there Michael Goldman,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Since an iPhone cannot be "paired" with a Mac via Bluetooth, what are you trying to accomplish that requires a Bluetooth connection? For most features, it only requires that both a Mac and iPhone has Bluetooth turned on. Here are some examples: Use Continuity to work across Apple devices - Apple Support

With the Messages app not automatically deleting verification code messages, is it set up according to this article? Use Messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support (scroll down to "Set Messages to automatically delete verification codes in iOS 17 or later" for the steps).

For using Standby Mode, make sure that "Always-on display" has been enabled: Use Always-On display with your iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max - Apple Support Even though the title of the article hasn't been updated yet, it does include an iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Feel free to get back to us with any questions or problems you may have.

Take care.

Hi Michael Goldman,

Contacting Apple Support is the best path forward to resolve the issue with verification code messages not being deleted. They will be best equipped to investigate this further for you:

Thank you. This is what I had suspected but “experts” elsewhere were convinced it should stay on all the time.

I had seen reports of that behavior even before iOS 17. But, I only just got my iPhone 15 Pro so, just now playing with it myself. During the day, Standby mode stays on all the time. At night, it goes dark. It seems to come on more easily and reliably than it did on my iPhone 11 Pro which required me to give the nightstand a pretty solid thump. The 15 Pro seems to sense movement in the room?

Yes. That’s what I’m saying. Not sure what the post was supposed to be indicating

Sorry, I was confirming your post. The post to which you were replying doesn't seem clear at all.

Since I Updated to ios 17.1.2 my bluetooth decvices no longer automatically connect! I have to turn bluetooth off and back on to connect most times and sometimes I have to forget the device and and re add the device to make it work! This is highly frustrating and I don't understand why an ios update constantly breaks things on your devices, this did not used to happen with such frequency.

Are you saying that the Accessories title should be on here? If so, mine has been set to on.

That setting has absolutely nothing to do with Standby Mode.

Yes
