How to turn off Always-On display on iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max

Here is how you can turn off the Always-On display on iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max if you don’t like how it looks. Exclusive to iPhone 14 Pro lineup, the new Always-On display shows the time, widgets, and wallpapers, as customized by the user.

As per various reviewers, the Always-On display on iPhone 14 Pro lineup is incredibly energy-efficient, despite showing the display in full color, unlike other phones. However, if looking at the display all the time gives you concern that it might still be on, or you want to save that additional bit of battery life, here is how you can turn it off.

If you want to turn off the Always-On display to save battery life, it may not make that much of a difference. iPhone 14 Pro uses the new A16 Bionic chip’s coprocessors, 1Hz refresh rate, and more technologies to dim your display, save battery life, and avoid any burn-in. This is why Apple has kept it on by default.

The display also goes dark automatically when the iPhone is placed in a pocket, in a bag, upside down, during Low Power Mode, and when it has not been in use for extended periods of time.

Always-On display also works with a number of iOS apps including Maps, Phone, Voice memos, and Remote.

However, if you still want to disable this feature, here is what you need to do:

Go to Settings > Display & Brightness
Scroll down and look for Always On.
Disabled the toggle.

You have now disabled the Always-On display on your iPhone 14 Pro. It will now work exactly as it does on iPhone 14, and older iPhone models.
