As reported by 9to5mac, a somewhat hidden option removes all color from the iPhone 14 Pro’s always-on display, making it more like the always-on displays offered by Android manufacturers like Google and Samsung. To get the black and white always-on screen up and running, you need to enable a ‘Focus Mode’ called ‘Dim Lock Screen’, which dims the iPhone 14 Pro screen with always-on enabled. To find this feature, go to Settings and select Focus. Then tap ‘Options’ and ‘Enable Dim Lock Screen’. And that’s all. The next time your smartphone’s always-on display is active, it will display the date, time, and your choice of widgets in black and white, not color. The downside is that you’ll need to keep the ‘Dim Lock Screen’ focus mode on all day for the feature to continue working. It’s also important to note that widgets for apps like Spotify will still appear in color on the lock screen. Apple could eventually bring a more official version of this feature to iOS 16, but given the tech giant’s insistence on forcing features on users even when they don’t work as advertised, that’s highly unlikely. However, it’s worth a try if you want to save battery life and have the always-on display enabled. Via: 9to5Mac
