I miss this option from all my older phones.

Specially when the screen is so big and power button is placed higher, this should have been a must feature.

Didn't work. Tried several such apps. Do you know if rooting will help?

The problem is probably Android 11/12, it works with 10.
Make sure it has needed permissions in accessibility.
Not sure how that's set up on your phone, this is a Samsung:

No issues with the permissions. I granted them all. I guess Android 12 doesn't allow it.

12 is known to be a pain. Many have rolled back to 11. You can try Playstore to see if an updated version is available that would work. Scoped storage is a mess.

One of the reasons I bought a second new N10+ a few months ago was to avoid being forced to use Android 11/12.
Also a factor was Samsung's newest flagships suck.

Even it's under Lenovo, Moto phones don't support double tap to wake like Lenovo tablets do.
Tap and swipe is only workaround (you can enable peek display)

Using this app currently fir double tap to sleep. Works mostly. Sometimes it fails

I honestly don't understand how Moto can get rid of such a basic feature and replace it with an inferior 'peek display' option that doesn't even let you disable motion sensing, thereby making the phone light up at the slightest of movements. I was hoping that Moto Edge 30 Pro would have an option to address this but it doesn't seem to be the case.

In the meanwhile, here's an app that will at least light up your phone when there are new notifications without peek display enabled: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.nullgrad.glimpse&hl=en_IN&gl=US
Instead of double tap, you can enable tap to wake up with single tap in moto gestures.

Is there any way to prevent accidental touch turn ons using that?
Even double tapp occasionally triggers them...

Open moto app. Go to display settings and turn off peek display
use this app
play.google.com

Double Tap Screen On and Off - - Apps on Google Play

Double Tap Screen On and Off for double tap screen lock & On, Shake Screen Lock
play.google.com

I wish you would publish this on playstore... It would be sweet.

It's not my app. It was on Playstore, that's where I got it.
Scoped storage screwed up everything.

I guess it's okay. Let's move on to new stufff. Thanks for replying. I had a very nice ebook library. 28000 plus pages of precious literature of interlinked html files. now the content URLs cause the linking to fail. I have to switch to file explorer to change every page and close the previous pages. Tech changes. If we don't keep up we are lost. Must move on to kindle.

What a half baked mess it is.
That's why I still run on Android 9 and 10. It's also one reason I haven't gotten a new device.
Personally I would have converted those pages to xdocs.
