Use the Clock and Weather widget

Add Moto Widget to Home screen

Check the time and get quick access to alarms, your calendar and the weather.

If the widget is missing, you can restore it by clearing the launcher app's storage. Clearing storage also resets Home screen icons to their original settings and removes shortcuts or folders you added to the Home screen; it does not remove apps from the app tray.

  1. Go to Settings > Apps & notifications > See all # apps.
  2. Search for and tap Quickstep.
  3. Tap Storage & cache > Clear storage.
