The iPhone's Always-On Display keeps your Lock Screen dimmed but visible, showing time, notifications, and widgets without unlocking. This feature works on iPhone 14 Pro, 15 Pro, 16 Pro, 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, 18 Pro, and 18 Pro Max models. If your Always-On Display turns off, first ensure it's enabled in Settings > Display & Brightness > Always On Display.

Common causes include Low Power Mode and Focus modes like Sleep Focus. To fix Low Power Mode, toggle it off via Control Center or Settings > Battery > Power Mode. Disable Sleep Focus by opening Control Center, tapping Focus, and turning off Schedule under Sleep settings.

Other triggers include Car Play sessions, Continuity Camera use, and face-down positioning. Clean your front-facing camera and adjust Raise to Wake settings if needed. Restarting your iPhone can also resolve temporary issues.
