iOS 17: How to customize widgets in standby mode

Standby is a new customizable lock screen mode in iOS 17 that can be activated when the iPhone is charging and lying on its side. Think of it as a kind of smart display for your iPhone, allowing quick access to different browsable information screens that can be viewed from a distance while your device is charging in the kitchen, desk, or nightstand, for example.

Custom Alternate Widget

Standby consists of three screens that can be accessed by swiping horizontally on the iPhone display. The first screen is where the interactive widgets are located, while swiping to the left reveals the second and third screens, which display photos from the photo gallery and a large clock display respectively.

The widget screen consists of two interactive widget stacks displayed side by side that you can swipe up and down independently. These stacks are like larger versions of the home screen widget stacks and even include the same options like smart rotation and widget suggestions.

Since many widgets have interactive elements, you can check off to-do items in your Reminder list. If you click on a non-interactive widget (such as a calendar), an arrow indicator appears on the screen. Clicking the arrow will take you to the associated application, which helps avoid accidentally launching an application.

To customize the widget stack, long press it. After Face ID unlocks your iPhone, the stack will be centered on the screen in dither mode. You can add widgets to the stack using the button in the upper left corner, and turn smart rotation and widget suggestions on and off using the buttons on the right.
