Standby Mode reverses to default clock face after night

Before going to sleep, I place my iPhone on a magsafe charger (a Belkin's 3 in 1 charger I bought from Apple's website) on my bedside table and select one of the digital clock faces, usually the one with the jiggly and colourful numbers. When I wake up next morning, it has reversed itself to the half clock half widgets view. I can't seem to be able to find a way around this.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

Hi Brugeoise,


From the support article on this feature Use StandBy to view information at a distance while iPhone is charging:


"In each location where you charge iPhone with MagSafe, StandBy remembers your preferred view, whether that’s a clock, photos, or widgets. This means you can have it set up for family photos in the kitchen, or an alarm clock at your bedside."


It would be worth verifying that you have location services enabled for this function to preserve your preferred view. It may also help to toggle Standby off and back on to reset the feature. From that same article:


"Turn off StandBy

Go to Settings  > StandBy, then turn off StandBy."


Regards.
