If it does not work

  • If you do not see Clock, confirm that this is a Pixel phone with Android 16 or later. Samsung and other Android phones use manufacturer-specific lock-screen settings.
  • If a style is unavailable, use one of the styles shown on your device. Google can vary available options by Android version and device.
