Is there a way for it to be a little brighter? My husband's galaxy S8 lock screen is brighter... mine is pretty dim

You can't increase the max brightness, but you can set your own if you disable Auto-Brightness for the AOD in the Always On Display settings. Once you do that, double tap the clock on the AOD to set your desired brightness.

You mean just double tap the clock on the screen? Not doing anything?

Yup, just double tap the clock on the AOD and that shows a brightness slider. But when you turn off Auto-Brightness for the AOD you get the same slider there, so you can just go ahead and set it to max brightness from the get go (not necessarily needs to be done by double tapping the clock).

That's weird I tried all that it doesn't do anything for mine. You do it while your screen is blacked out and you have the aod floating around?

Yup, BUT as stated above, first you need to disable Auto-Brightness for the AOD and the clock must be what you're tapping. But even then, once you disable auto-brightness, the same manual slider shows up in the AOD Settings if, for some reason, double-tapping the clock doesn't seem to be working.

I don't use auto brightness for my phone. I don't have a problem with the way my aod is I just figured I'd try it out but it didn't work.

Edit to add sorry you meant auto-brightness that's just for aod in the settings. I found it mine is on. I'm going to leave it that way as mine's fine. I was just going to play around with it thinking it was just a couple of taps. LOL
