After releasing the stable Android 15 update for Moto G34, Moto G45, and Moto G85 last week, Motorola has now started rolling out the anticipated Android 15 update for Moto G55. Needless to say, the update bags a flurry of new features and enhancements.
Motorola has officially confirmed the availability of the Android 15 update for the G55 by listing the changelog on its official support page. At the time of writing, the update is in a rollout phase and is currently available to select users in India and Europe. The broader rollout should commence in the coming days.
When it comes to the features list, then it remains the same as the G85, G45, and other models. You will get access to the new lock screen customization features, updated quick panel, Gen AI emojis, new emoji stickers, improved connections, and more.
Here are the other changes mentioned in the official release notes.
- Improved Connections and Sharing
- Control more Bluetooth features from quick settings
- Previously, in quick settings, you could tap bluetooth icon Bluetooth to turn it on or off.
- Now when you tap bluetooth icon Bluetooth in quick settings you can do much more:
- Turn Bluetooth on or off
- Pair a new device
- Switch paired devices
- See remaining battery on paired devices
- Disconnect or forget a paired device
- For a paired device, change sound settings and access to contacts and history
- Use satellite messaging when mobile network is unavailable
- Not all carriers support this feature.
- Now, even when your mobile network is unavailable, you can send SMS. Your phone will automatically connect to a satellite, letting you send text messages.
- You’ll see a message on your lockscreen and in the messages icon Messages app, notifying you that you’re connected to a satellite.
- Use one-tap hotspot to connect devices with same Google account
- If your phone and device you want to connect to its hotspot are using the same Google account, you no longer need to enter a password to connect.
- Accessibility Improvements – Control hearing devices from quick settings
- Quick settings now has a tile to control hearing devices. Tap the tile to peek at hearing device battery levels, change device settings, and turn other audio features like Live Caption on or off.
- You can also switch between preset sound profiles that automatically adjust your hearing device based on your listening environment. Get presets for:
- Restaurants
- Work
- TV
- Outdoors
- All-round (neutral, balanced)
- Get more vision support
- Now it’s easier to read using font scaling that prevents text from being too large.
- You can now connect modern refreshable Braille displays to your phone’s screen reader over USB or Bluetooth with Braille Display HID support.
- Security enhancements
- Find powered-off phones and connected accessories can now help you locate:
- Your phone, even when offline
- Headphones, tracker tags, and other compatible devices, even when powered off
- Get secure, simpler to use authentication:
- To slow down phone theft attacks, adaptive authentication now locks the screen after 5 failed authentication attempts (PIN or biometrics).
- For apps designed for Android 15, access your saved passwords with facial recognition, a fingerprint, or your screen lock to log in. If you accidentally dismiss the passkey prompt, you’ll still find passkey or other suggestions in autofill screens, like keyboard suggestions or dropdown menus, making signing in easy.
- Other improvements
- See larger thumbnails in photo picker: Now thumbnails of photos and videos are easier to see and select for sharing.
- New emoji stickers: New Emoji Kitchen stickers are available, like the disco ball and headphones. Whether you’re rocking out to hip hop, country, or jazz music, there are now more ways to express your musical self.
