When iPhone 14 and then iOS 16 were presented, which have only been in Spain for a short time, many were happy to see how Apple had implemented the Always-on display, the feature that dims the lock screen to show just the right amount of information. However, users have complained about the lack of options to configure this feature to their liking. This will change in iOS 16.2.

These are intended to ensure that this function of Software it’s more like what Android devices have been offering for years; an extremely easy way to see new notifications at a glance. Obviously only for iPhone 14 Pro; the rest of the models remain, in principle, on the outside.

Logically, these new options will not replace the “fun and colorful” mentioned by Chance Miller, editor of 9to5Mac, showing the novelty.

And it is that it would not be the first time that Apple has included functions in its betas which, in its official versions, it withdraws for usually unknown reasons.
