Oh, yes, of course. Another feature present in Android, but locked out on most phone.
Way to go, Google.

            Anonymous, 15 Sep 2017Motorola user don't need that, our notification so much betterMy G4 Plus, Motorola, have far worse notifications because I need to touch/move the phone to see if there is any notification or see what time it is! Always on clock/notifications is a far better solution!

                Always on is just to spend more battery. To know the hours and date?No much sense.

                  Will pixels come with 8.1 out-of-the-box?

                    those old memories, it tears me down T_T miss my dad.

                      Indeed. Glance screen on the Lumia, anyone? Can also remember my N8 having an always-on display.
