The latest Android 16 update is already available to over a dozen of its devices, and is now expanding to four more Motorola smartphones via the beta program.
The company has just updated the MFN Beta Testing page, showing that the Android 16 beta program is now open for four more devices: Edge 2024, Edge 40 Pro, Edge+ 2023, and Moto G35 5G. The beta program is available in select regions as mentioned in the following list:

Here are the major upgrades in Motorola’s Android 16 update
Regarding the changes, there aren’t many, to be honest. This update may not feel like a major one, but there are a few quality-of-life improvements to look forward to. The new software reduces frustration when an app sends too many notifications in a short time by limiting the volume of successive notifications, thanks to the Notification cooldown feature.
Motorola users can now connect to the hotspot of another device without entering the password, provided the devices are logged into the same Google account. The Settings app has also received notable upgrades, now featuring Do Not Disturb, Bedtime, and Driving modes in the Modes section. Further, you can also create custom modes tailored to your specific needs.
The Android 16 update also introduces numerous enhancements to hearing aids for improved usability. Additionally, the latest software features enhanced security, performance upgrades, and better compatibility with newer apps.
