The majority of contemporary smartphones with LED screens include an Always-on Display (AOD) option that, while the device is locked, displays important data including the time, date, battery level, and notification icons. Without unlocking the phone, it offers instant access to important information at a glance. Google now appears to be getting ready to enhance this function in Android 17 with a new feature called "Min Mode." Third-party apps may be able to show their own permanent, simple interfaces on the AOD thanks to this feature.
Android 17 May Allow Apps to Provide Persistent, Minimal AOD Interfaces
The 'Min Mode' is a new feature that lets third-party apps take over the screen and display their own permanent, minimalist interfaces on the AOD, as seen by Android Authority. According to reports, this functionality was found in the Android SystemUI package, indicating that it is now in development.Apps may be able to display information like navigation insights specific to the always-on screen if this functionality is included in the final version of Android 17 next year. It may alter the way people interact with locked devices.
According to reports, Android 17's Min Mode is intended to be an improved version of AOD rather than its successor. Although it displays a full-screen app interface rather than simply the clock and alerts, it is said to employ the same low-power display mode to conserve battery life. According to reports, developers may activate it by include a MinModeActivity in the manifest files of their apps, registered through SystemUI's MinModeProvider. When the device enters AOD, the app-aware system is said to show the appropriate screen.
The article claims that because Min Mode can show turn-by-turn instructions even when the screen is off, Google Maps may be the first to use it. A new 'Power saving option' was discovered in the Google Maps app for Android version 25.44.03.824313610 after a recent APK breakdown. To save battery life, this mode displays a monochromatic layout with the most important navigational information.
