Where Are iOS StandBy Settings Stored?
iOS StandBy settings, widgets and photo display location on chargers.
Last updated
StandBy turns a charging iPhone on its side into a clock, photo frame and widget board. Settings live in one StandBy page with display and notification options. No files to manage.
Night Mode tints the clock red in dark rooms. The phone must lock with the screen sideways on power. Cases that block MagSafe alignment cause the most failed triggers.
