Huawei P30 Pro Tips and Tricks: How to enable AOD? [EMUI 11]

Huawei had made a big deal of the P30 Pro’s great battery life, but this is partly achieved by disabling certain features by default.

The always-on screen is one of these, but some people find it very useful to be able to see the time, date, and app notifications without having to wake their phone.

How to enable?

To enable it, go to Settings > Home screen & wallpaper > Always-on display

There are some settings in there too, such as the ability to limit the always-on display to specific hours.

If you’re coming from an iPhone and want your P30 to wake when you pick it up, go to:

Settings > Display > Smart assistance > Shortcuts & gestures > Wake screen

There you can also enable a setting that lets you double-tap the screen to wake the phone.
