Motorola in October laid out its Android 6.0 Marshmallow
rollout plans for the handsets. Since then it has pushed out the OS update to
the Moto X Style, Moto X Play, and Moto X (Gen 2). However, the Lenovo-owned
firm is now rolling out the operating system to Moto G (Gen 3) (unlocked
variant XT1540) over-the-air, report users.
The Motorola Moto G (Gen 3), which was launched in India in
July this year running Android 5.1 Lollipop, receives all the new features
included in Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Android 6.0 Marshmallow (previously just
Android M) brings features such as revamped app permissions; Google Now on Tap
feature; Android Pay mobile payment system, and new fingerprint APIs for
developers among others. It also features some Google's security patches as
well.
While announcing the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update plans,
Motorola listed Moto-specific changes that users will see after updating to the
new Android OS version. Some changes to Moto enhancements include removal of
Moto Assist feature as part of upgrade to Android M. The company explains that
the latest OS includes an option for 'Do Not Disturb' under the 'Sound and
notification' settings that performs similar function what Moto Assist does.
Spotted first by Android Beat, the update is currently
rolling out to Moto G (Gen 3) users in US and Canada. It should gradually
release to other regions worldwide. The update weighs in 2GB and brings the
software version of the smartphone to 24.11.25.en.US.
Motorola earlier this month announced that it will be
seeding the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update to its Moto E (Gen 2), but only in
select regions.
