The Always On Display is a feature specially made for devices having AMOLED Displays which shows Time and recent notifications on the screen while sleep on a smartphone such that user can have a glance at notification without actually unlocking the device. As the Black color does not lit up in the AMOLED Displays it saves a lot of battery while showing time and notifications in the sleep mode on the smartphone. Usually, this feature comes in popular devices like Samsung flagships (Note 9, S9 etc.) and Google Pixel Devices.
The display used in the OnePlus 6T is an optic AMOLED display size of 6.41″ and a resolution of 1080 by 2340 pixels. Despite having Oxygen OS, the device still lacks the Always On Display feature for some unknown reasons complained by many users to the company as having an AMOLED display means, the device should be able the take the full advantage of the Always On Display.
However, some third-party developers at XDA-developers have made it possible on the OnePlus 6T by making a Magisk Module such that Always On Display can be used seamlessly on the device and all the features should be able to work fine with stability. This module requires the device to be rooted and Magisk Manager installed the Root manager for the device such that the Magisk Module should be installed easily.

Further, the user needs to go into Magisk Manager > (swiping right) Modules and tap on yellow “+” icon to locate the Module from the folder in which it has been downloaded and then tap on Install.
