Moto G (2nd Gen) Android Marshmallow Update Rolled Out In India

The US-based technology giant, Motorola, has announced the latest Android V6 Marshmallow update for its Moto G 2nd Generation users, in India. The new update offers features such as Doze, Google Now on Tap, app permissions and more. The company had started a small-scale Marshmallow update soak test for users in India and Brazil back on 22 January.

In an official statement, the company said, "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.

The newly update by Motorola has also been incorporated with some of the new features such as App Standby that 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.
