Whether you find StandBy mode distracting, battery-draining, or just unnecessary, turning it off takes only a few taps. Apple designed it to be helpful, turning your iPhone into a glanceable smart display, but not everyone wants their phone lighting up like a mini billboard at night. Now that you know how to disable it, you can keep your screen (and your sleep) uninterrupted.
