Here’s a superfluous feature that some of you might like. Samsung is bringing in one more personalization option to its Always On Display. You can now show GIFs on the screen when your phone is asleep. There are limitations to make sure you don’t go through your battery while using this feature. There’s a maximum length for the GIF you select from your photo library and it’ll only play once. But you can double tap on the GIF to trigger one more loop. This option comes with version 3.2.26.4.

Before this Always On Display will show things like time, notifications, and remaining battery percentage. You can change things like colors and clock style and in the past couple of years, Samsung even let you choose either preloaded images or your own photo to appear here as well. It seems GIFs are just the next evolution… or not. Let us know if this is something you’re planning to use.
