How To Use iOS 18 StandBy Mode Like A Pro! | 7 Best StandBy Mode Widget!

[@Mrpamperedpassions]

I recently made the jump from iPhone 7 to iPhone 16, so I've been on quite a learning adventure! I stumbled upon this video, and I just wanted to say thanks for sharing your expertise on this feature. Your work is awesome - keep it up! 🐬

[@kaylamcmiller3848]

I love standby mode I use it on my night stand. I really wish they would make a version that didn’t require my phone to be on the charger though so that I could use it more during the day my phone has great battery life so I never leave it on the charger during the day

[@itskwis4767]

YESSSS like on the desk at work just chilling there on a stand

[@CoolBreeze2016]

@@kaylamcmiller3848 yes! I have seen many videos on KZbin that say you shouldn’t charge your phone to 100%,,, But if you have Stand By Mode on all night,,,?

[@jamest198]

Exactly!

[@csarcpab]

As a first time iPhone user on my 16 Pro Max I found this video very helpful, thanks! I do love the added use of the screen with stand by mode.

[@VictoriaMacklin]

Is it possible to have several standby modes that depend on the current focus mode? I’d want a different one at night (sleep mode) than during the day

[@garrykanter5773]

I love standby mode. Makes the phone so much more useful. Always On is what will get me to upgrade from my 13.

[@Discovery3314]

the thumbnail is misleading.. don't upload such thumbnail

[@ChaydenWalkerSMChair]

It's meant to be clickbait so you see the video. I got fooled too, I thought iOS18 added new things to standby secretly. I was quite disappointed...

[@MartinOcando]

Completely. I've considered 9to5Mac to share pretty solid gear info over the years, but this is completely uncalled for. You should remove this video and reupload with a proper thumbnail.

[@cellman1829]

I really don't understand why Apple makes us charge the iphone in order to utilize standby mode ???? Why can't we just turn it horizontal on a stand without having to charge !! I think then people would use it a lot more

[@Baajiki-e9x]

@@cellman1829 You're spot on!

[@NebulaHatesWatchdog]

Probably they want to sell more magsafe chargers, but also keeping the screen on drains the battery so it’s really the only practical option. Also people would get quite confused by it if they flipped their phone while consuming content and it switched to standby.

[@HitchandHitched]

Thank you for this video. I love the standby mode and I wished someone talks about this on how I can assist me while i’m working.

[@makeliamurrell2880]

🐬 I always enjoy watching your videos. They’re always so informative.

[@ozmozis6073]

Very cool. This feature is fully explained. I had no idea how customizable this feature was. Also. Damn.. you talk fast. Thx

[@WFORacer]

Does widget mode work at night? I have mine set for time ( digital time) left screen -temperature ( right side). After a bit of time goes dark and all I see when I gesture is faint outline of a conventional clock.

[@rajsaysrun]

Super useful, thank you very much!

[@schmoonkie]

This thing popped up on my iPhone’s screen unexpectedly. It happened before upgrading to IOS 18. It showed the wrong time, though everything else showed the correct time. I disabled it. Perhaps I will look at it again in the future after seeing your video. I kind of wish that Apple updated their Contacts app instead of adding apps with limited value. I don’t think they updated that app in years-and it’s something I use daily

[@reltius2993]

there should be an option to have the widgets automatically change to the next one on a timer you set, like every 20 seconds it swaps between weather and calendar.

[@smacfe]

It doesn’t get talked about or used as much since Apple bricked it for any phone before iPhone 14.Considering so many people still use the 12, many people don’t give a hoot about standby mode.

[@maikaimakena9424]

This video was so helpful you are the best bro so talented keep killing the GAME ❤⚡️🤙🐬

[@wizzysnizzard]

But do alarms go off or are they still silenced?

[@zebonautsmith1541]

I like Standby mode so much; I'm using it for 95% of the time in day or night mode. But how safe is that for the battery? Even though it's on a magsafe charger? Worried about expanding batteries; so now I try to put it on a plain stand for some period of the day but of course that kills Standby Mode. Your thoughts?

[@Billy_Gaming_2021]

@@zebonautsmith1541 Batteries in general don’t expand unless in harsh conditions, like really hot, or if it’s old, or unless you have a galaxy note (I think it’s) 7. The phone never overcharges, even if it’s a 20 dollar Walmart one. You’ll be fine

is there a way on how to get your iphone in lock mode? because idk how

Thank you for this review, could someone tell me what MagSafe iPhone/Apple Watch nightstand charger you are using?

[@abrock6215]

My iPhone is at 17.6.1 but does not show any other options under the StandBy --- Display settings other than a toggle to turn on or off the Night Mode. No way to set the amount of time the widget shows the info on the screen? This must have something to do with the iPhone version. I own an older XS Max so I guess this feature is only available on later iPhones.

[@omarmejouatemd]

in 6:48 did you just say that the H and L in the weather meaning the one in the morning and the one in the evening. Correct me if I am wrong but those stand for H: High, L: Low.

[@SavageChip810]

Well, yeah it means high and low… but also the lowest temperature will be at night and the highest temperature will be during the day… so he isn’t wrong

I wanted my standby mode to not turn off but my the setting is not working on my iPhone 13 with iOS 18. 😢

[@Prence]

Jude standby mode but I just have it shows the time. My iPhone screen is too small to have a bunch of widgets on it. I wear glasses and when I first wake up I don’t have my glasses on so everything is blurry. The only thing I can make out is the time. I have a iPad Pro 12” as well and I’m not understanding why standby isn’t on my iPad Pro. It would be perfect for standby, with it’s larger screen it would be easy to see everything like the time, date, calendar, just all the things you need to see for the start of the day. Apple needs to enable standby on the iPad.

[@seansampat8401]

Man I have a iPhone 12 it only stays on standby for 40 seconds !

[@zarcreations-1]

WOW, I never really paid attention to that, and thought I knew a lot about iPhones, I'm sure glad I stumbled across your video as I followed step-by-step and customized my phone.

[@nigelgee3576]

🐬 You missed the fact that you can get the Control Centre by pulling down from right top. Which in iOS 18 gives you a lot of access to music, Home etc. The only thing is that you can not unlock the iPhone by swiping up.

[@adrisauruz]

Can you share the wallpaper ? Pls 😅

[@lisalarson3117]

I have my iPhone 16 pro set to always on but when using it as an alarm clock at night it shuts off sometime around 3 am. I am assuming this is when it becomes fully charged. Anyone else have a fix for this?

Ok now can you explain how to use schedule summary like a pro. Thanks

[@trentgilliam5192]

🐬 I new standby mode was a thing but had no idea it could do all of the things in this video!

[@TheTrafficBoss]

I legitimately forgot this existed about 3 hours after I played with it. The only time my phone is ever on a compatible stand I’m sleeping.

[@ISTHMUSchannel]

I can’t understand why I just purchase a new iPhone 16 on iOS 18.1 and I do not have the display option in standby mode settings. So my always on keeps turning off after 30 seconds. Is this because I transferred my data from my previous iPhone 13?

[@tsaprodigy2166]

I really wish they brought this feature to ipads

[@Billy_Gaming_2021]

Maybe someday, but keep in mind that iPads are very heavy compared to iPhones, therefore no MagSafe, therefore no StandBy. “Sure,” you might say, “just plug it in” but unless you have a stand for your iPad, it would be pointless.

[@micleeso]

Is it possible to disable face ID (auth) to interact with homekit accessories in standby mode? Nothing is more annoying than getting out of bed in the middle of the night to authenticate, at that point you just pick up the phone and open the homekit app defeating the purpose of the feature. It should have the option to be a simple tap, no auth particularlly when you're in bed.

[@jakebraun2312]

@@micleeso I’ve been googling this same thing every few weeks since standby mode launched. Was so excited to have one screen where I could see my clock/alarm and turn off my lights when I’m done reading at night. Seems like they still haven’t fixed this (even though there’s a setting under Face ID that should allow you to use lock Screen widgets without unlocking). Such a bummer.

[@bhanuprasadmaddu1509]

it is not working once the iphone is locked

[@SavageChip810]

Yeah, that’s annoying, I’ll be at my desk, and if I’m not looking at my phone after a while it locks. It would be better if it would at least Auto Unlock while in standby but I guess it’s the price we pay for security. Maybe it should only unlock standby and not the rest of the phone, kinda like the soon to be app unlock

[@merrex4808]

why do you have music playing in the background ?

[@DIMM4_]

Since I have an iPhone 13, Standby mode only last a few seconds. Not very useful. But it's something I would surely use on the next phone. P.-S. Fernando, you speak fast. Very fast! How many cups of coffe do you drink in a day? 🙂

[@Jxstvib1ng]

It doesn't last because iPhone 13 does not support always on display. Upgrade your device and you’ll be able to

[@Suleiman678]

[@dgreensuperhoops]

Can't work out how to have an alarm on the clocks

[@CED.Dweller]

I COMPLETELY forgot that standby mode has customizable widgets!

[@driver288]

Its cheap of Apple to not let us use standby on any iPhone. Since the phone is plugged in and charging for this to work its not a battery thing, but an apple tax thing. Every navigation app can keep the display on while in use. Why can’t we have the option to have standby on like that even on non Pro phones if we want to?

[@stephencooper3583]

It's the screens. The pro models have "pro-motion" which can change the screen refresh rate from as high as 120hz to as low as 1hz. When they go into AOD or StandBy, they dip to super low refresh rate so it doesn't drain the battery or make the phone hot. Non-pro screens are just 60hz any time the screen is on. I don't think those screens can dim as low as the 120hz screens either. So yeah, I'd imagine that battery health, screen burn, and heat all play into why they won't do it with the 60hz screens.

[@driver288]

@@stephencooper3583 Hi! While all points are logical what doesn’t make sense is that i can use turn by turn navigation for hours on end with ANY iPhone if i want to. I should be able to do this too if i want to. When navigating the phone even light up more to be clearly visible in daylight. So even though your comment makes sense for battery saving and screen wear, it’s still not the full explanation. Standby always on REQUIRE the phone to be locked and charging to turn on. Refresh rate or dimming isn’t a factor here. It’s just a differentiator between Pro and non Pro really

[@spede1]

I don't use AOD or Standby but thanks for the video, nice and informative

[@gerardrosales]

@@nroose because for some reason, Apple doesn’t support it. just like you can’t see your iPad (if you own one), and vice versa. it’s so stupid because i use an app called AirBuddy on my Mac and i can literally see all my Apple Devices’ battery percentage as long as they’re on the same Apple ID, yes, even my AirPods Pro and AirPods Max

standby mode. It’s okay if you have a always on display however I have an iPhone 15 not a pro so I don’t really use standby mode as the screen isn’t on to look at it. yeah okay I can kick the desk and the screen will pop on but don’t use it that much
