Is it possible to show iMessage oder Mail notifications in Night Stand mode?
 
I meant "Standby Mode". I think you need a 3rd party widgets to show notifications in "Standby Mode".
 
Yes, all notifications show up in StandBy. You can toggle this in Settings, StandBy but I think On is the default anyway.

I have activated notifications and Standy, but I cannot find them in the StandBy display.

Where are the notifications shown? In a special widget? At the bottom of the screen?

You’ll only get notified of the notification when the phone receives it. After that it disappears and you’ll only be able to see the notifications when you pick your phone up.

Ahhh. That makes absolutely no sense that a notification disappears after two seconds.
 
I can't get any notifications when on standby mode, absolutely nothing...
When i get notifications i can hear them on my ipad in the other room but nothing on the phone.

Do you have a Watch by any chance? I'd imagine it does not show notifications on StandBy then just like in regular use.

I have to admit standby mode was the first thing I turned off, its just another thing to eat battery life.

This was the exact problem.
Turned off bluetooth on the phone so watch wouldn’t connect and boom, notifications now appears while on Standby mode.

Lol i don’t know if you’re serious or sarcastic.
How can it uses battery when the phone must be on the charger for the feature to work? Maybe you’re talking about AOD? Always on display?
