The Samsung Always On Display app allows you to quickly access useful information without having to turn on your phone screen. This updated version is only available on devices with R OS (Android 11), and may not be available through the Google Play Store depending on your device. If that's the case, you can upgrade to R OS or check the Galaxy Store instead.
To use the app, simply tap to display the Always On Display screen. You can choose to have the display on all the time or only during specific times of the day. A variety of clock styles are available, including digital, analog, world, Edge, and calendar clocks. You can also set moving AGIFs as your AOD screen wallpaper.
Double-tapping on the clock area will allow you to access various widgets, including music, weather, and Bixby Routines. You can download AOD-exclusive themes from the Theme Store to customize your screen, and adjust the brightness level with four different options. The app also offers landscape view, which you can activate by rotating your device to the desired orientation.
Some features may not be available on all models, and the app requires access to your storage space, telephone data, and calendar information in order to function properly. If you have any questions about the app, you can submit an inquiry through the Contact Us feature.
