The iPhone's StandBy mode turns our phone into a smart display with quick access to useful information and a new way to check what's happening in real time. With such an interesting feature, what happens when this mode does not activate as it should or turns off unexpectedly? Let's see how to fix the situation and continue enjoying StandBy mode as much as we want.
What to do when StandBy Mode does not activate
Sometimes, we may find ourselves in a situation where the StandBy mode does not activate automatically, as it should. The first thing we should do is verify that our iPhone is correctly positioned horizontally and with the screen tilted, not flat. Here, a MagSafe stand like the Belkin BoostCharge Pro, for example, can be useful to maintain the proper position of the device and to help the iPhone know it should activate StandBy.
If the mode still does not activate, it's important to check in the Settings app under the StandBy Mode option if this functionality is enabled. If it is, an effective solution could be to disable and re-enable it. Beyond that, we can try turning off the iPhone and turning it back on until we see that everything works.
What to do when StandBy Mode turns off unexpectedly
If StandBy mode activates but then deactivates after a while, the solution involves checking certain settings. First, in Settings > StandBy > Display, let's make sure the "Turn Off Screen" option is set to Never.
Also, check that Low Power Mode is not activated, as this can cause the screen to turn off automatically after a period of inactivity. This option can be found in Settings > Battery or through Siri with a simple "Hey Siri, turn off low power mode."
Finally, it's important to remember that continuous StandBy mode requires an iPhone with an Always-on display, a feature available only in the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro, for now.
Clearly, the StandBy mode of iOS 17 is a very interesting change for the iPhone. An option to access relevant information while the device is charging. A mode that, as we have just seen, will activate punctually and will remain active whenever we need it.
