Did iOS 18 break my Standby Mode?

Prior to some version of iOS 18, Standby Mode worked great on my iPhone 14 Pro. When I put it in its proper position the “default” screen (clock on the left, calendar on the right) would activate. Now when I do that some “funky”looking screen comes up. No dates displayed in the calendar on the right and just two clock hands in the 10 and 2 position show up. If the lock-screen is active when I set the phone down the original default screen activates and is visible for a few seconds. But it then goes to the “funky” screen.

The phone defaults to whatever screen you used last in that particular location.


If it's the widget screen, have you tried changing the widgets? See what happens when you do. Then, if you want, change them back.
