Samsung Always On Display (AOD) is a convenient feature that allows you to glance at key information—like the time, date, notifications, and battery percentage—without waking your phone. Yet it can drain your battery and may not be necessary at certain points, like when you’re sleeping or at work. That is where scheduling Always On Display comes in handy.
If you own a Samsung Galaxy A36, A56, or A26, you’ll be happy to know that you can personalize the schedule for when the Always On Display is enabled. Whether you want AOD only active when you work or want it turned off at night, Samsung’s built-in scheduling feature helps make it convenient.
In this tutorial, we are going to lead you through the step-by-step process of enabling and configuring AOD scheduling on your device.
