Why Leave Standby Mode Enabled?

Before we dive into the steps for exiting standby mode, let’s first consider why you might want to leave it enabled in the first place.

One reason is that leaving standby mode enabled can help conserve battery life. When your device is in standby mode, the screen is dimmed and some of the device’s features are turned off to save power. This means that your device will last longer on a single charge, which can be especially important if you’re using it frequently or traveling.

Another reason for leaving standby mode enabled is that it can improve the performance of your device. When your device is in standby mode, some background processes are put to sleep to save power. However, these processes can still run in the background and be ready to wake up when you need them. This means that when you do want to use your device, it will be faster and more responsive than if you had to wait for everything to start up from scratch.

Finally, leaving standby mode enabled can help protect your privacy. When your device is in standby mode, the screen is locked and some of the device’s features are turned off. This means that even if someone gets physical access to your device while it’s in standby mode, they won’t be able to see any sensitive information or use any apps that require a password or biometric authentication.

How to Exit Standby Mode on iOS 17

Now that we have covered some of the reasons for leaving standby mode enabled let’s look at how to exit it on iOS 17.

Step 1: Unlock Your Device

The first step in exiting standby mode is to unlock your device. To do this, simply press and hold the power button until the lock screen appears. Then enter your passcode or use biometric authentication to unlock your device.

Step 2: Tap on the Screen

Once your device is unlocked, you will need to tap on the screen to wake it up from standby mode. This will bring the screen back to life and allow you to use all of its features.

Step 3: Wait for Everything to Load

When you tap on the screen, your device may take a few moments to load everything back up. During this time, you may see a loading icon or progress bar. Be patient and give your device a chance to load everything before trying to use any apps or features.
