Always-On Display

Always-On Display (AOD) is a built-in personalization feature in realme UI that showcases the time, battery percentage, and incoming notifications directly on your screen while it is turned off.

⚠️ Critical Compatibility Note Always-On Display only works on realme smartphones equipped with OLED or AMOLED screens. If your realme phone uses an LCD display panel, it lacks the hardware required to illuminate individual pixels while keeping the rest of the panel turned off. Consequently, the setting will be completely missing from your menus.

How to Turn On & Customize AOD If your device is compatible, you can find and adjust the settings by following these steps:

• Open your phone's Settings app.

• Scroll down and select Wallpapers & style (labeled as Personalizations on older software versions).

• Tap on Always-On Display.

• Switch the main toggle to On.

Customization Options Available Once enabled, realme UI offers a wide array of visual variations to tailor the screen to your taste:

• Display Schedules: Choose Power Saving (turns off if the phone is sitting face down or stationary), Scheduled (runs only during specific hours), or All Day.

• System Styles: Choose from a classic variety of pre-installed digital clocks, analog watch faces, and the official realmeow mascot graphics.

• Personalized AOD: Create your own layouts utilizing several dynamic sub-features:

¬ Portrait Silhouette: Converts a portrait photograph of a person into a clean, minimalist line-art sketch on your locked display.

¬ Custom Pattern & Text: Hand-draw your own digital patterns or write custom personal text with adjustable colors, sizes, and fonts.

¬ Omoji: Places your personalized, animated avatar directly on the screen.

• Contextual Info: Toggle this on to view active, interactive widgets on the blank screen, such as a Spotify music playback bar.
