How to enable motion to wake on iPhone 16 Plus?

I cannot find the motion to wake feature on my iPhone 16 plus like my previous iPhones had. I want this for standby mode so that I can see the time without touching the screen.

iPhone 16 plus does not have motion to wake in standby mode so at night when you are charging the iPhone and is horizontal you see the time but when the screen goes off it won’t turn on moving your hand in front of the screen in order to turn on is tapping the phone in older model this setting of motion to wake turn the phone on and you can see the time without touching the phone
