  I just left a company that’s enabling the preloads of this product and the ‘opt-in campaign’ will be full screen, aggressive, and difficult or impossible to stop depending on the device model.

  Glance? That obnoxious spyware that should be amongst the very first thing that you remove or disable? Yeah, not in a million years.

  Utter trash. Motorola has broken the stock lock screen, and this is somehow part of it. I can no longer choose list style notifications, and viewing notifications on the lock screen requires an extra tap.

  If you leave Glance enabled it also breaks your lock screen clock appearance, and forces a small clock pushed into the corner.
