Feature

StandBy on iPhone Duo, explained

iPhone Duo can show StandBy on either display, even when it isn’t charging. Here’s how it works and what’s new.

Updated

StandBy — the glanceable full-screen mode that shows a clock, photos or widgets — gets its biggest upgrade yet on iPhone Duo.

What’s different on iPhone Duo

  • No charger needed. Set iPhone Duo down and it enters StandBy even when it isn’t charging.
  • Either display. StandBy can show on the outer or the inner display, depending on how you set the device down.
  • New faces. Calendar and Weather faces join the existing Clock and Modular faces.
  • More customization. New colors, fonts and complications.

Third-party widgets

Apps that offer widgets can appear in StandBy. We tag apps whose widgets work well there with the StandBy feature label on their pages.
