Steps
Open Settings and tap General, then Software Update. Install any update available so Standby Mode is included on your phone.
Go back to the main Settings screen and tap Standby. Turn on the switch at the top to enable the feature.
Put the phone on a charger with the cable or a MagSafe puck. Lock the screen with the side button.
Turn the phone on its side so it sits in landscape. The screen changes to the Standby display after a moment.
Swipe left or right across the screen to move between the clock, the photo screen and your widget screens.
Long press a widget on a Standby screen, then tap the plus button or Edit to pick a different app and widget size.
Open Settings, tap Standby, then Night Mode, and turn it on. The display then dims to red in a dark room.
In Settings, tap Standby, then Notifications, and turn on Show Notifications so alerts appear on the Standby screen.
To stop using it, return to Settings, tap Standby, and switch the main toggle off.
Tips and common mistakes
Standby only appears when the phone is charging, locked and held in landscape, so it will not show up in your hand.
A MagSafe stand or dock makes it much easier to keep the phone sideways at a good viewing angle.
If the screen keeps going dark, check the Standby toggle and turn off Low Power Mode.
Night Mode switches on by itself in dim light, but you can force it off in the Night Mode settings.
Questions
Why is Standby Mode not turning on?
Check that the Standby toggle is on in Settings, the phone is connected to power, locked and sitting in landscape. Low Power Mode can also block it.
Does Standby Mode work without a charger?
No. The phone must be plugged in or on a wireless charger, and the screen has to be locked before the Standby display appears.
Can I turn off the always-on display in Standby?
Yes. Go to Settings, then Display and Brightness, then Always On Display, and switch it off if you want the screen to go fully black.
