Moto X Play has already received the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow update earlier this year, but it seems the company is rolling out the latest Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow in India and Canada.
The update is sized at merely 388MB so it doesn’t seem to be a pretty big update. Nonetheless, make sure you’re connected to a WiFi network before you download, especially if you don’t want to choke out your allocated data limit.
New Features and Improvements
Android 6.0 Marshmallow brings a number of security and stability improvements as well as the latest Emoji 8.0 support on the handset. This means users will have access to a wider range of emojis to express themselves in messages and social media. Additionally, Motorola has added a few tweaks of their own, allowing users to launch the camera app by double pressing the power button, as well as the ability to change the camera shutter sound. These small but significant changes enhance the overall user experience, making it more intuitive and customizable.
Moreover, the update includes the Doze mode, which significantly improves battery life by putting the device into a deep sleep state when it is not in use. This is particularly beneficial for users who often find themselves running out of battery before the end of the day. The App Standby feature also helps in conserving battery by limiting the background activities of less frequently used apps.
How to Update Your Device
Did you get the latest Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update on your Moto X Play? If not, don’t worry as the update is usually rolled out in phases so you’ll get it in the next few days. Alternatively, you can manually check for the update from Settings on your device. To do this, go to Settings > About phone > System updates > Check for update. If the update is available, you will be prompted to download and install it.
It’s also worth noting that before you proceed with the update, ensure that your device has at least 50% battery life to prevent any interruptions during the installation process. Additionally, backing up your data is always a good practice before performing any software updates to avoid any potential data loss.
Community Feedback
The community response to the Android 6.0.1 update has been largely positive. Users have reported smoother performance and a more responsive interface. The new features, particularly the enhanced Doze mode and the expanded emoji set, have been well-received. Some users have also noted that the camera app launches faster with the new double-press power button feature, making it easier to capture spontaneous moments.
However, as with any update, there have been a few minor issues reported. Some users have experienced slight lags or app crashes, but these seem to be isolated incidents and are likely to be resolved in future patches.
