The Always On display on my iPhone 14 Pro Max doesn't turn off when Do Not Disturb turns on

Do you have this Filter enabled for your DND Focus? Settings > Focus > Do Not Disturb > Add Filter > Always On Display > Set to Off and add. Note that it’s not on by default.

That appears to be normal behavior. I do not normally use Always On, but I did turn it on to test and placed by device into DND and the always on remains. It does show the device is in DND. I'm not aware that it should shut down. I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max.

EDIT: This Apple Support document shows that it would only turn off if using Sleep Focus, not regular DND. Keep the iPhone display on longer - Apple Support

I was today years old when I learned of this Focus setting. While I occasionally will turn on DND now, the only one I use now is Sleep Focus. I don't use Always On, and my DND was scheduled for at night, but I turned that off when I started using Sleep on my Apple Watch and that sets up Sleep Focus.

Thank you for the information. I gotta get back to packing!

Glad you got it worked out. Enjoy your iPhone. Funny that it didn't work out for you. I tested it on my iPhone 16 Pro Max and turned off AOD in the Settings for the DND Filter and it worked. Either way, you have a solution that works for you.

I also just learned about the feature too, I thought the same way as you before.

Anytime. I also need to pack, I leave tomorrow morning!

Glad Chris got it resolved for you. I also tried on my 16 PM and it also worked. Did you make sure the toggle was off? That ensures AOD is turned off when the Focus is enabled.
