Use the Clock and Weather widget

Add Moto Widget to Home screen

Put a clock on your home screen and get quick access to alarms, your calendar, and the weather.

  1. Touch & hold the home screen.
  2. Tap Widgets.

  3. Tap Moto Widget to view different styles of the widget to add:

    • For a simple widget with few icons and a digital clock (not analogue), choose Clean.
    • For a basic analogue clock with weather and your calendar, choose Classic. The outer ring shows the remaining battery.
    • For a transparent widget that doesn't obstruct your wallpaper, with a choice of digital or analogue clocks and individual panels so you can swipe between weather, time and settings, choose Beyond.
    • For a highly customisable widget that can show or hide date, time, weather, battery, alarms, fitness tracking and more depending on how you size the widget, choose Adapt.
    • To see daily and hourly forecasts (no clock, calendar), choose Weather.
  4. Touch and hold the style you want, then drag it to your Home screen and release.
  5. Follow on-screen instructions to set up the widget.

Customise and use the widget

Resize it

Touch and hold the widget to show its frame, then drag a side. Some widgets show more information when you expand their size.

Move it

Touch and hold the widget, then drag it around your screen or to a new panel. Release to place it.

Change clock style

Your phone came with the Clean style of the Moto Widget, which only has a digital clock. To use an analogue clock, remove the widget (touch and hold, then drag it to Remove), then add a different style for the Moto Widget or add a different clock widget.
