When your screen sleeps, battery-friendly Active Display notifications fade in and out, lighting only the pixels needed and showing notifications delivered since you last woke your screen. You can select the type of notifications to show, set them to show or not during the night, and control your privacy.
Active Display does not show notifications at night during hours you specify, when the phone is in your pocket or purse, the phone is lying face down, or you are on a call.
