Android 17 could bring full-screen apps to your always-on display

TL;DR

• Google is developing a new “Min Mode” feature for the Always-On Display that will allow apps to show their own minimal, persistent interfaces.
• This enables richer, glanceable experiences, with Google Maps expected to be one of the first apps to use it for low-power navigation.
• The feature uses the same ultra-low-power display state as AOD to save battery and will likely be introduced as a new developer API in Android 17.
