How to activate the Always On Display feature on your Galaxy phone

When the screen is off, you can view information such as a clock or calendar or control music playback on the screen. You can also see notifications for new messages or missed calls.

By default, Always On Display only appears when you tap the screen. Follow these steps to change the settings to allow the screen to be displayed continuously or for a set amount of time.

Step 1. Launch the Settings app, and then select Lock screen.

Step 2. Tap Always On Display.

Step 3. Tap the switch at the top of the screen to turn it on, and then choose the mode that best suits your needs.

• Tap to show: The Always On Display will appear for a short time after tapping the screen.
• Show always: The Always On Display will be continuously shown whenever the phone is locked.
• Show as scheduled: You can set up a schedule for when Always On Display will display. For example, you can make it display during the day but turn off at night.

When you receive a message, missed call, or app notification, a notification icon is displayed. Double-tap the notification icon to view Always On Display notifications.

You can disable Always On Display in Settings screen just like you enabled it. Another way is to simply turn it on and off in the notifications panel. For this, follow the steps below.

Step 1. Open the notifications panel, swipe downwards.

Step 2. Tap the Always On Display button to deactivate it.

Step 3. If you cannot find Always On Display, tap Add (+) icon and drag the button over to add it.
