On my old Galaxy S7, the text would periodically move to different spots on the screen. Is there a way to do that on the Pixel 7?

Edit: Thank you everyone for your feedback, I’m going to use the AOD as is.

    If you watch it for awhile, I believe it slightly moves the display once a minute or so to prevent burn-in. I think it might also turn off the display in your pocket. So really, most of the time it’s on is while you’re sleeping; and that’s at super-low brightness.

    I’ve always used it all the way back to my OG Pixel XL, and never had burn-in.

      Yep, AOD on WearOS works the exact same way by moving the display ever so slightly in order to prevent burn-in.

      Although I hear this has changed from being a system-level thing to a responsibility on the developer (so take caution with third party watch faces), but I don’t currently have a primary source for that so take it with a grain of salt.
