How to Enable and Customize Always On Display on Samsung Galaxy

Samsung Galaxy's Always On Display (AOD) shows the clock, date, battery level, and notifications on your screen even when it's "off" — saving you from constantly waking the screen.

How to Enable Always On Display

1. Go to Settings → Lock Screen and AOD.
2. Tap Always On Display and toggle it on.
3. Choose your display mode:
   - Tap to show — shows AOD only when you tap
   - Show always — shows continuously
   - Show for 10 seconds when new notification — balanced option

How to Customize AOD Style

1. Open Settings → Lock Screen and AOD → Always On Display → Content to Show.
2. Choose what to display: Clock style, wallpaper brief, notifications, music info.
3. Tap Clock Style to choose from dozens of clock designs — analog, digital, edge line, artistic.

Schedule AOD Hours

Set AOD to only show during certain hours (e.g., 7am–11pm) to save battery at night: Settings → Lock Screen and AOD → AOD Schedule → Set Schedule.

Battery Impact

AOD uses roughly 1–2% battery per hour on AMOLED displays. Scheduling it for sleeping hours saves approximately 5–10% overnight.
