Ui7 tip: AOD auto turn off (dark, sleep, or facedown)

[johnz237]

This is one of those obvious settings, but sometimes I miss certain features even if they're right in front of me...So thought Id share- I used to have AOD on but turned it off as it was a little annoying at night.

If you go to Settings > Lock screen and AOD > Always On Display > When to show, change it from Tap to show/Always to Auto.

"Show all the time unless your phone detects that you're sleeping, that it's face down, or that it's in a dark place and hasn't moved for at least 5 minutes." To me, this is useful.

P.S. From reading online, this was taken away at some point, but I can't confirm this. Anyone know if this is true?

This is what I use and I can confirm it does turn off when your asleep.

Curious if this means a watch or ring needs to be connected?

*Misread message. Don't believe that's the case.

Possibly. I have my Galaxy Watch 7 in at all times and often relie in it for my health states and notification when im out and about.

I've not fully tested it, but you'd hope the feature works as it should. Though, hard to test, mind, being asleep and all 😂

[Brooklin]

Not exactly anyway to check unless you leave a camera recording your phone to find out 😂

You know what's hilarious. Maybe because its 1:40am- but at first I thought you said " I can confirm it does NOT turn off when youre asleep" 😭 all makes sense now

[Brooklin]

😭 No it does turn off. I've woken up to it being turned off and seconds after turning back on to me being awake.

Thats pretty impressive 👏
