Yes, Standby Mode is fully supported on iPhones with compatible iOS versions, allowing widgets to remain visible and functional even when your screen is inactive.


What is Standby Mode?

Standby Mode is a feature that keeps important widgets displayed on your screen while your device is charging or in a resting position. It transforms your iPhone into an always-on information hub, ideal for desks, nightstands, or workspaces.

How Standby Mode Enhances Widgets:

  • Always-On Display: Widgets like clocks, calendars, weather updates, or countdown timers remain visible without needing to wake your phone.

  • Real-Time Updates: Information such as time, notifications, or live data (like weather) refreshes automatically, ensuring accuracy.

  • Customizable Layout: You can personalize which widgets appear in Standby Mode and adjust their layout to fit your needs.

  • Night-Friendly View: Some widgets adapt to a low-light or dark-mode display, making them perfect for bedside use.

Setting It Up:

  • Ensure Standby Mode is enabled in your iPhone settings.
  • Select compatible widgets within the Widget Custom HomeScreen app.
  • Place your phone on a stand or charging dock to activate the mode.
