What Is the Always-On Display?
Introduced with the Apple Watch Series 5 in 2019, the Always-On Display keeps the screen active, showing the time, watch face, notifications, or heart rate. While convenient, it significantly reduces battery life (18-36 hours), requiring more frequent charging. The feature dims when your wrist is down or covered and disables the touchscreen to prevent accidental interactions.
Why Turn Off Always-On Display?
Beyond saving battery, disabling Always-On offers two key benefits:
- Less Distraction: The constant screen can be distracting in traffic, school, or work. Turning it off ensures the display activates only when you raise your wrist.
- Enhanced Privacy: Disabling Always-On prevents others from seeing your watch face or notifications, showing them only when you actively view your wrist.
How to Disable Always-On Display
Turning off Always-On is straightforward. Here’s a detailed guide:
| Steps | Explanation |

| Open the Settings app | Press the Digital Crown to access the Home screen, then tap the Settings app. |
| Select Display & Brightness | Find Display & Brightness in the Settings menu. |
| Tap Always On | Scroll down and select Always On to toggle it off. |
