November 2, 2025, 4:06 PM EST. Google is reportedly adding a new 'Min Mode' in Android 17 that lets apps display their own minimal, persistent interfaces directly on the Always-On Display (AOD). The move could deliver richer, glanceable experiences while reducing battery drain compared with full wake; AOD already shows time and notifications. Existing live updates offer limited previews, but Min Mode would let third-party apps integrate via a new developer API. Google Maps is expected to be among the first to adopt this for low-power navigation, using the same ultra-low-power state. The feature was spotted in the Android SystemUI package, suggesting ongoing development. If launched with Android 17 in 2026, it could fundamentally change interactions on the locked screen and how users engage with apps on the AOD.
