Motorola Moto G (2nd gen) Android Marshmallow update rolling out in India

Android 6.0 Marshmallow has started rolling out for the Moto G (2nd Gen) smartphone in India. The update offers features such as Doze, Google Now on Tap, app permissions and more. The company had kicked off  a small-scale Marshmallow update soak test for users in India and Brazil back on 22 January. The company says, “We are excited to announce a new software update for Moto G (2nd Gen.) by Motorola. This update brings Android 6.0  Marshmallow to your phone along with other improvements. Android 6.0 Marshmallow improves your mobile experience with battery-smart features and new app permissions that give you even more control.” However, one feature that will not be present is the Moto Assist, which Motorola deprecated in favor of the Do Not Disturb functionality from stock Android. Some of the new features such as App Standby helps to reduce the drain of the smartphone by  putting the seldom-used apps into a reduced activity state. With App Links, one can decide what the right action is for each of your apps when you tap a web link. Android Marshmallow also enables the smartphone’s SDcard to fully extend device internal storage rather than just being used for media files. With Do not disturb, you can now easily configure interruptions by tapping the Do not disturb button in the quick settings panel. If you have not received a notification message for this update, you can follow the steps below to manually update your phone. Select the Settings icon in the apps menu and then select “About phone”. Select “System updates” and then select “Yes, I’m in”. After the software is downloaded, select “Install now”. After the software is installed, your phone will re-start automatically. Your phone will then be updated to Android 6.0.
