How to turn off the always-on display of the Apple Watch Series 5

Always-on display on Apple Watch Series 5

The most outstanding novelty of the Apple Watch Series 5, is the possibility of having your display always active A way to see the time, or any information on your watch face, without having to flick your wrist to activate the screen.

Personally it is a function that I like. Many times doing sports, driving, carrying shopping bags I have had the need to see the time, in my previous Apple Watch, and the impossibility of making the wrist gesture, so that it activate the screen, you have made me unable to see it.Now, thank God, I won't have to stop what I'm doing to see the time.

But you may not like this feature and want to disable it. Whether it's because you don't want anyone to look at the clock to check the time, you're annoyed that it's so conspicuous with the screen active, or simply to save battery life, we'll teach you how to do it.

Turn off Apple Watch always-on display:

This is something we can do from the "Watch" app on the iPhone or from the watch itself.

Disable Always On Screen from iPhone:

To do this we must access the "Watch" app and go to the "Brightness and text size" menu.

Once inside that menu, the following options will appear:

Disable the "Always On" option

Click on "Always activated" and from there, we deactivate the function.

In this way we will stop having the clock screen always active. Now, to see the time we must make the wrist gesture to visualize it.

How to deactivate it from the Apple Watch:

We enter the settings of the clock (gear wheel) that will appear among all the apps, when pressing the crown of the device.

Once inside the settings, look for the "Display and brightness" option and press it.
