One of many issues I favored in regards to the new Motorola Razr is how its software program was barely totally different from the Razr Plus, bringing in new options and altering/bettering sure UI parts. Now, these modifications are coming to the Razr Plus through a brand new replace that is rolling out.
The replace comes simply weeks after the Razr Plus obtained the September 2023 safety patch, though not a lot else was included with that replace. Curiously, this new construct (T2TZ33.18-75-4 on my North American unit) would not include a brand new patch stage, nor does it point out any new options or modifications within the changelog. Nevertheless, it does word that customers can anticipate bug fixes and stability enhancements.
After putting in, the telephone has now obtained the brand new Moto Join app that arrived alongside the Motorola Razr. The app is just like Google’s Focus Mode, letting you restrict notifications and apps that can assist you focus and keep within the second.

Most notably, the current apps view has a persistent “Clear all” button, making it simpler to dismiss all open apps directly with out having to scroll all the way in which to the tip of the listing. There’s additionally a lock operate subsequent on one aspect of it, which helps you to maintain some apps open, even after you choose to dismiss all of your apps within the current apps view.
A screenshot possibility sits on the alternative aspect of the “Clear all” button, whereas the open app icon on the prime of the view reveals an arrow that, when tapped, will reveal a menu for App data, cut up display, and different choices.
The battery menu now reveals an choice to allow a gradual charging notification to provide you with a warning “when your telephone is not charging optimally in your wi-fi charging stand.” Curiously, Motorola hasn’t included the “Optimize battery whereas inactive” possibility current on the Razr. This makes use of AI “to be taught your conduct and restrict background apps when your telephone is inactive.” Given my woes with the Razr Plus battery life, hopefully that is an possibility Motorola will allow down the road.
