Apple first introduced the Always-On Display feature with the iPhone 14 Pro series, and since then, the function has remained largely unchanged. With iOS 26, however, Apple has altered the way Always-On Display operates.
In earlier versions such as iOS 18, the feature merely reduced screen brightness by default. This meant that even when a user set a photo as their wallpaper, the image remained clearly visible. In iOS 26, by contrast, Apple now applies a blur effect to the wallpaper.
The primary purpose of this change is to make the time and widgets easier to read in dim environments. The drawback, of course, is that the wallpaper becomes less discernible, which may disappoint users who prefer to keep their personal photos visible at all times.
Always-On Display allows the screen to remain partially active in dark settings rather than turning off completely. When enabled, it continues to show the time, date, notifications, and widgets. However, if the phone is placed face down—thereby covering the light sensor—the screen switches off entirely, displaying nothing.
While the blurring of wallpapers in iOS 26 improves legibility, it may inconvenience some users. To accommodate this, Apple has included a toggle within the display settings: those who dislike the blurred effect can disable it, ensuring their wallpaper remains sharp and clear when Always-On Display is active.
Though seemingly minor, this adjustment appears to align with Apple’s Liquid Glass design philosophy in iOS 26, which emphasizes translucency and blurring. By softening wallpapers, the update not only reflects the aesthetic of Liquid Glass but also draws greater attention to key widgets.
