Always On Display Option Disappeared after Android 14 Upgrade

Hi All,
My Fairphone 5 was upgraded to Android 14 last night, and I have now lost the Always On Display (Where the clock is shown on a black screen when you’re not using the phone). There is no option to turn if on or off in the settings. I’m assuming this isn’t a feature of Android 14? Is it called something new now?
Kind regardss,
Paul

Welcome to the Fairphone community.

That feature was deleted on purpose, because of its high battery drain, see:

Thank you Incanus,
That makes sense, however, it would have been nice to have to options to turn it off if we wanted too.
