Missing 'Always-On Display' option on iPhone 16 Plus

Is there a way to turn on "Always-On Display" on 16+? You can find it in search but it does not appear where it's supposed to in "Display & Brightness"

This is what I see in Settings on my iPhone 16 Pro Max.



Just checked and only the 16 Pro and 16 pro Max support Always On display. You can see a link for supported models in this support document. Keep the iPhone display on longer - Apple Support

Hey there,


On supported models, the Always-On display setting allows a dimmed version of your Lock Screen to stay visible, even when your iPhone is locked. By glancing at the dimmed screen, you can check essential information, like notifications, the date and time, and information in your widgets.

The display automatically turns off when iPhone is either face down or obstructed from view, not near a paired Apple Watch, when a CarPlay session begins, while Continuity Camera is in use, while Low Power Mode is on, while Sleep Focus is on, or at your usual bedtime.

The Always-On display setting is on by default. To turn it off, go to Settings  > Display & Brightness, then turn off Always On Display.

Tip: When Always-On display is turned on, you can choose whether to show your wallpaper or notifications on your Lock Screen. In Settings > Display & Brightness > Always On Display, turn Show Wallpaper or Show Notifications on or off.
