What is animated AOD and how to enable it

Animated AOD works as a background on the screen with animations.

To enable animated AOD, you can choose a preloaded GIF or from your gallery. If the playing time of the selected GIF is less than 5 seconds, it will automatically be played twice. If it takes longer than 5 seconds, it will be played only once.

Trin 3.You can also change the color of the clock. PressColourand then select the color you want. Tap when you're donefinished.

Remark:The fingerprint icon on the AOD screen always appears as a clock or notification if you set the AOD to "Always Show". It allows you to easily find the position of the fingerprint sensor on the AOD screen without turning on the screen.

If you don't want this concept, we recommend setting the AOD mode to 'Tab to Show' or 'Show as Scheduled'.
