If you are a Motorola user, we have good news for you. Motorola has started to roll out the Android 16 update for some of its phones. This means that if you own a qualifying device, you can look forward to all the new features, changes and improvements that are part of the Android 16 update.
Motorola finally rolls out Android 16
What can Motorola users look forward to? The Motorola Android 16 update brings several meaningful improvements focused on simplicity, security and connectivity. We’re talking about features like Notification Auto Grouping, which automatically organizes multiple alerts from the same app. This can help reduce the clutter on your notification panel. There’s also Instant Hotspot, which lets users activate their phone’s hotspot directly from an Android tablet or Chromebook linked to the same Google account.
Users can also look forward to a user interface refresh with cleaner visuals in the system settings and menus. If you are someone who tracks battery usage, the battery insights are extensive. It now offers detailed health metrics and device diagnostics.
Motorola has also added support for activity-based modes like Sleep, Drive, and Work, so users can customize their phone experience based on what they’re doing. Then there’s Advanced Protection Access. This provides users with quick access to anti-theft tools and identity verification features directly from the device settings, improving security and peace of mind.
Starting with the Edge 60
That said, the Motorola Android 16 update is only available for select Edge series devices. This includes the Edge 60 Pro, Edge 60 Fusion and Edge 50 Pro. Owners of other Motorola devices, including the popular Razr foldable phones and the budget-friendly Moto G series, will have to wait a little longer for their updates.
Motorola has not yet officially announced when the rollout will be expanded to additional models. However, given the company’s renewed focus on timely software updates and competitive pressure from other Android manufacturers, we expect the update won’t be too far away for other eligible devices.
In fact: the rollout of Android 16 is actually older than Android 15. In 2024, Motorola rolled out Android 15 for the Edge 50 series in December. This rollout means that Android 16 will arrive two months earlier than its predecessor. If you own another Motorola phone, check your software update settings regularly for availability.
