Preview notifications when screen sleeps
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 which apps show notifications, set them to show or not during the night, and limit content to control your privacy.
Active display does not show notifications:
- At night, during hours you specify
- When the phone is in your pocket or purse
- When the phone is lying face down
- When you are on a call
