Can’t turn off dim lock

Hello krishan147,

It seems like you want to know how to turn off the Always-On display feature on your iPhone, is that correct?

With Always-On display, your iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max dims the Lock Screen while still showing helpful information, like the time, widgets, and wallpaper, all while using new technologies that make the display incredibly power efficient.

If you want to turn off Always-On display, please check out the "Turn Always-On display off or on" part of this link, as it outlines how to do that: Use Always-On display with your iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max

Turn Always-On display off or on

Always-On display is on by default on iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. To turn Always-On display off or on, follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings > Display & Brightness.

2. Scroll down to Always On and turn Always-On display off or on.

Thanks!

I have this bug on my 13 running ios 16. I made a sleep focus lock screen and then I chose the sleep screen option that makes the whole screen black instead of showing my background picture. Then I disabled it and that doesn't do anything. I'm stuck with a black screen... so I guess I'll wait for 16.1 to restart my iPhone and then try this again to reproduce it. Can't find any questions relating to this bug, so maybe I'm the only one.

Doesn't bother me that much TBH to even bother to restart, but it could help.
