Standby mode is a new feature in iOS 17 that activates when you set iPhone aside to charge. If you're running the iOS 17 beta, here's how to enable and set up Standby mode.
How does StandBy mode?
Standby mode was introduced with the iOS 17, which is currently available in public beta and is expected to be widely available in late September. The feature is enabled by default, so you don't need to do anything special to enable Standby mode. You just need to plug your iPhone into a power outlet to charge it and keep it on a stand. You may need to invest in a special stand or make one yourself to prop up your iPhone.
StandBy mode works on all iPhone models that are compatible with iOS 17.

There are widgets for many iPhone apps, such as Weather, Notes, and Reminders. Third-party app developers can also display widgets here. When editing widgets, use the + button to add new ones, or tap the – button next to a widget to remove it.
Photos mode will only show images when your device is unlocked. You can long-press the screen, then tap the + icon to select albums.
Finally, with Clock mode you can swipe up and down to choose between different clock styles.
StandBy mode also displays information from notifications and “Now Playing” information from apps like Music.
