Motorola has been gradually expanding the Android 16 update to its mid-range and lower-end devices, with the Moto G75 getting the latest bite. The update brings some new features and numerous improvements that further enhance the software experience.
The Android 16 update for the Moto G75 has started rolling out a month after the device entered beta testing. This is not unusual, though, as brands take a couple of weeks to refine the update and ensure the build has no critical bugs. The latest update bears the firmware version W1UQ36H.73-6, as shared by users on Reddit (via Ytechb).
Since it’s a major upgrade, users will need to download a large update package of about 1.8 GB. It’s best to download such hefty packages over a Wi-Fi connection. To download the update, go to Settings > System updates > Check for updates.
Note that the updates are usually rolled out in batches. So, it may take a few days or even weeks to reach all the users. Once the update reaches your device, ensure your Moto has sufficient storage and charge it to at least 50% before installing the update.
In terms of changes, you wouldn’t notice significant visual upgrades, but there are several useful upgrades to look forward to. This includes a new Notification cooldown feature that reduces the volume of incoming notifications when receiving too many notifications from the same app within a short time span.
With Android 16, you can connect to another device’s hotspot without a password, provided both devices are logged into the same Google account. Not a big change, but a quality-of-life improvement. The Do Not Disturb, Bedtime, and Driving modes are now in Settings > Modes. Additionally, you can create custom modes as needed. Improvements have also been made to hearing aids, device security, and overall stability.Â
