Did Samsung remove all of the customize options for the always on display?? I can no longer find any way to change colors, add pictures, change the clock styles, etc. Also, app notifications are now showing up in the left hand corner instead of under the clock in the middle of the screen like before?? And before you ask - yes my software is updated to the latest firmware as of this post.

So, I have a pretty bad opinion about the AOD in One UI 7. They turned it into an extension of the lock screen, starting from the lock screen. Now, you can even set the lock screen wallpaper on the AOD, and nothing moves on the AOD anymore like it used to, to prevent screen burn-in... The AOD in One UI 7 is basically just a lock screen feature now. They rebuilt it from scratch... And I suspect the Now Bar is the reason behind this redesign, or something like that. So now, they have to completely redo a new LockStar setup for this new AOD. Honestly, it's not very seriousā€”this feels like an unfinished product. I don't understand why they choose S25 to kill a mature AOD and replace it with a new completely buggy one.

Does anyone know how to get the aod brighter? And how to get the fonts when writing whiter? They look washed out?

Vision enhancements messed everything up the other day, I remember there was something through his lock, just a slider to enhance the brightness on the aod, but I don't remember where it was

If you tapped the AOD screen a little sun would pop up that you could click to show a brightness slider, but it's gone now. I switched from a Note 20 Ultra to an S25 Ultra and I'm not impressed. I'm pretty bummed that I already sent in my old phone for trade. This thing has been a huge disappointment. IPhones are adding features and Samsung is taking away. By the time I need a new phone I'll probably get an iPhone because it'll have the features the Samsung took away.

Go to the Wallpapers in the settings, tap on the lock screen to change the wallpaper then tap on the Clock. You will ne able to change the settings of the Always on Display from there
