About Moto Display notifications

When your screen is off, battery-friendly 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 and limit content to control your privacy.

These notifications aren't displayed:

  • When the phone is in your pocket or purse
  • When the phone is lying face down
  • When you are on a call
  • When Do not disturb is on
