I'm setting up standby mode and I want the clock to display always. The only display option I have in settings is "Night Mode". That's fine but the clock disappears in 30 seconds and the only way to get it to return is to touch the phone. How do I choose how long the screen stays on? Is this even an option on the iphone 16?
Your iPhone 16 does not support the Always On Standby Mode as it requires an Always On Display. That feature is only supported on the iPhone 14 Pro and later Pro models.

Thank you for the reply. I'm scratching the top of my head wondering why it's not supported on the 16. When I open my eyes early in the morning I'd just like to see time, not have to bump the table or asking Siri. Is this because I didn't spend the extra money and get the pro? lol
