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.
