How to Use Structured in StandBy Mode
StandBy mode is a feature introduced with iOS 17. When your iPhone is charging and in a horizontal position, it will automatically enter this mode when activated. Here, your phone can display the time, pictures, or widgets. Below, you can learn how to add a Structured widget to your StandBy mode.
Please note that this feature is only available on iPhone with iOS 17 or more recent versions, not for iPad. For more information about StandBy Mode, check out the Apple help page.
Activate StandBy Mode
As a default, StandBy mode is already enabled on your phone. Alternatively, you can activate it in your iPhone's ⚙️ Settings app in the StandBy section. Here, you can also activate Night Mode, which will result in the StandBy mode switching to a lower brightness and a red tint at night.
Structured in StandBy Mode
When your phone is in StandBy mode, it can display a Structured widget that shows you today's tasks on your timeline as well as your progress on the current task. You can also check off your tasks in this mode without opening the app or even unlocking your phone.
To enable the Structured widget in StandBy Mode:
Make sure your iPhone is charging and placed horizontally so that it enters StandBy Mode.
Swipe horizontally until you reach the Widgets screen (the screen showing widgets).
The Widgets screen contains two widget stacks — one on the left and one on the right. Tap and hold the widget stack where you want to add the Structured widget.
Tap the + button in the top-left corner.
Select Structured from the list of apps and choose the Structured widget.
Tap Add Widget, then tap Done.
After adding it, you can swipe vertically within the widget stack to switch between the available widgets. You can also interact with the Structured widget by checking off tasks.
