How to Hide Always-on-Display Notifications on iPhone 14 Pro/14 Pro Max

Do you want to get rid of Always on Display notifications on your iPhone 14 Pro & iPhone 14 Pro Max in iOS 16.2? This post will teach you how to hide always-on-display notifications on iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max.

Meanwhile, advanced features not found in the other iPhone 14 models are available on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. One of these capabilities is the always-on display, which is made possible by a more energy-efficient OLED panel that can reduce its refresh rate to as low as 1Hz, protecting battery life.

There were no customization options when the iPhone 14 Pro first debuted with iOS 16 installed; instead, the always-on display displayed a toned-down version of the iPhone’s Lock Screen wallpaper behind any widgets and notifications.

This gave the iPhone 14 Pro a uniform yet distinctive appearance when it was not in use when compared to other devices with always-on displays, but some users wished they could alter certain features for a more subdued or veiled appearance.

For security reasons, some users stated that it would be preferable to hide notifications when the always-on display is in use. Other users wished the wallpaper was hidden in the always-on display mode because it can cause anxiety or confusion by giving the impression that the screen is active when it isn’t.
