With FaceWidgets enabled for your Always On Display, you interact with them by first double-tapping on the clock, then swiping left or right to move through them one at a time. They're all moderately useful, and can give you little pieces of information on what's going on with your phone without having to turn the screen on. You can have a music controller (for all media, actually), a schedule calendar, and an alarm information readout. These "FaceWidgets" are the big information-rich panels you find at the top of your lock screen and also your Always On Display if you enable them. By default, the phone will set your "Home" time zone to wherever you are when you start up the phone for the first time. You can set your "Home" time zone, and then whenever you're in a different time zone, your Always On Display will show both the local time and what time it is back at home. There are several solid colors, then some soft rainbow-like options. Once you pick one, you can then tap "Color" down at the bottom to change the background color from white. Some, like the multi-time zone clock, let you tap to customize them.

You can choose between four different brightness levels, and you can check how it works in the real world by letting Always On Display come on, then double-tapping the clock to get an adjustment slider. If you want to turn it off and set things manually, it's probably because you want to keep it at a very low setting all the time for maximum subtlety. Leaving it on Auto brightness will accomplish this goal, letting the phone measure ambient brightness levels and adjust the brightness of the Always On Display to strike a balance between readability and subtlety. The whole idea of the Always On Display is that it's subtle and not bothersome. ![]()
