iPhone 14 Pro StandBy keeps reverting to two-widget view

iPhone 14 Pro StandBy keeps reverting to the two-widget view (iOS 27.0.1)



I'm using an iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 27.0.1.


I always use the full-screen clock in StandBy. However, whenever I disconnect my iPhone from my MagSafe charging stand and reconnect it in landscape orientation, StandBy switches to the two-widget view instead of restoring my previously selected clock.


I have never intentionally selected the two-widget view as my preferred screen or left it displayed for an extended period. I don't understand why iOS keeps reverting to it. Is StandBy incorrectly remembering this view as my preference, or is there a bug in the view-selection algorithm?


I've tried restarting my iPhone and selecting my preferred clock again, but the issue returns after disconnecting and reconnecting MagSafe. No further iOS update is available.


Has anyone experienced the same issue or found a way to fix it?

Hi there


pLease try this


Because StandBy links the view preference to the specific MagSafe charger's ID, you must completely clear the previous state:

  1. Connect your iPhone to the MagSafe stand horizontally so it triggers StandBy.
  2. Swipe back over to your full-screen clock.
  3. Press and hold the center of the clock to enter customization mode.
  4. Slightly tweak the configuration (e.g., tap the small color wheel icon in the corner to change the color scheme, or select a slightly different clock variant).
  5. Tap Done. Changing a setting forces iOS to write a fresh preference profile for that specific MagSafe charger ID.
