What does the 'Never' option for 'Show last app' do on Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra?

Discover how the 'Never' option in the 'Show last app' setting affects your Galaxy Watch 7 or Watch Ultra's display behavior and enhances user experience.

The 'Never' option in the 'Show last app' setting on your Galaxy Watch 7 or Watch Ultra ensures that the screen switches to the Always-On Display (AOD) watch face when idle, regardless of the app or menu you were using. This setting helps maintain a clean and consistent display experience by preventing the last app from remaining visible when the watch is inactive.

1. How does the 'Never' option work?

When you select the 'Never' option, your Galaxy Watch 7 or Watch Ultra will automatically transition to the AOD watch face whenever the screen is idle. This occurs even if you were actively using an app, menu, or tile. The screen will remain on the AOD until it times out, providing a seamless and organized display experience.

2. Why choose the 'Never' option?

- Consistent Display: Ensures the AOD watch face is always visible when the watch is idle, maintaining a clean and professional look.

- Battery Efficiency: Reduces unnecessary screen activity, potentially improving battery life by minimizing app-related display usage.

- Personalization: Aligns with your preference for a specific watch face to greet you when waking up the device.

3. How to enable the 'Never' option

1. Open the Settings app on your Galaxy Watch 7 or Watch Ultra.
2. Navigate to the Display menu.
