What Is Peek Display?
Peek Display is an intuitive option for Motorola devices that makes it easier to access various settings and interact with notifications on the fly. It activates when you move the phone or tap the screen, letting you see key information without having to unlock your phone. It’s like a more simplified version ofAndroid home screen widgets.
While it doesn’t have as many features as other lock screens, like being able tolaunch apps from the Samsung lock screen, it’s still pretty useful.
When you activate Peek Display, it’ll show the current time, battery percentage, and any notifications you might have. There’s also an option to show your local weather report. The clock faces available for Peek Display are interesting enough on their own, and there are three to pick from.
How to Change the Peek Display Clock
There are three clock faces available for Peek Display on Motorola devices:
There are two ways to change the Peek Display clock. The first involves heading into the phone’s display settings, and you could access the other from Peek Display while it’s active.
For the first method, openSettings > Display > Peek Display > Settings > Clock. Here, you can swipe between the three available options.
For the second method, lock your phone and activate Peek Display by moving your phone or tapping its screen. Then, tap and hold the current clock face. Here, it’s possible to swipe between the three available clock faces.
