How to customize your Galaxy phone Always On Display?
Discover how to activate and personalize the Always On Display (AOD) on your Samsung smartphone, a feature that allows you to check the time, date, missed calls, notifications, and additional information without turning on the screen.
Note: Before you try the recommendations below, be sure to check if your device's software and related apps are updated to the latest version.
What is the Always On Display?
The Always On Display (AOD) setting lets you see key information from your phone on the standby screen. This includes your clock, images, notifications, and what music is being played. The AOD allows you to get the information you need without unlocking your phone, saving you time and energy.
If you notice that you do not have an AOD, your AOD settings may be turned off. Conversely, you may want to turn off your AOD in order to save on battery power. Follow the steps below to enable or disable your AOD.
- Always: Always On Display will remain active continuously whenever the phone is locked. This was the default setting on older devices.
- Tap to show: Always On Display will briefly appear after tapping the screen.
- As scheduled: You can set a specific schedule for when Always On Display should be active, such as during the day.
- For new notifications, Always On Display will activate briefly when a new notification is received.
Note: AOD is turned on by default, but if it has been disabled, you will need to turn it on to access its settings. AOD is not available when a Power saving mode is turned on.
Navigate to and open Settings, then tap Display, and then tap Font size and style. Adjust the font size slider to increase or decrease the font size. You can also change the font style or enable bold font.
You can download clock styles that match your interests.
- From a Home screen, touch and hold an empty area, and then tap Themes.
- Tap AODs, select a theme, and then tap Download or tap the price.
- Follow the prompts to select your payment method or apply discounts with coupons or promotional credits. Then, tap Pay now.
- Once it’s downloaded, tap Apply, choose your desired preferences, and then tap Done.
- Your new design will now display on your device's screen when the AOD is active.
