How do I use Moto Display?

Moto Display can show you a sneak peak of your notifications, even when your display is off, so you stay in the know without having to do a thing.

Tip: To enable all features and get optimized performance, visit the Play Store to ensure you are running the latest version of Moto.

When your screen sleeps, battery-friendly Moto Display notifications fade in and out, lighting only the pixels needed and showing notifications delivered since you last woke your screen. You can select which apps show notifications, set them to show or not during the night, and limit content to control your privacy.

If your phone has been still for a while, reach for it to trigger the Moto Display screen.

Moto Display does not show notifications:

  • When the phone is in your pocket or purse
