9 first things every Motorola Moto G7 owner should do
The Moto G7 is Motorola’s latest budget-oriented phone, with the Moto G7 Power standing by it as its fatter, cheaper cousin with a ridiculous battery size. For the price, you’re getting a lot of value and features. However, the devices still have deficiencies.
If you haven’t yet picked up a case for your Motorola Moto G7 or a screen protected to keep the phone’s display blemish-free, Amazon has quite a few great options for under $10.
Here are the first 9 things you need to do when setting up your new Moto G7!
You bought a Motorola, and that comes with its perks. The devices may run stock Android, but the company adds a lot of goodies that make life a lot easier.
Open the Moto app (after updating it in the Play Store of course) and hit the big Moto Actions banner. From there you get a plethora of settings, some of which are pretty amazing.
- One Button Nav: This is Motorola’s take on the gesture UI. It gets rid of the standard nav bar for a thin one with a “pill” in it. It’s similar to what Google did with Android Pie but taken a step further. Tap for home, swipe left for back, swipe right to switch back to the last app, swipe up for recent tasks, and hold for Google Assistant. I found that it works great and feels natural.
- Fast flashlight: Ever want to karate chop with your phone to turn the flashlight on? With this feature turned on, you can.
- Quick capture: Allows you to twist the device twice to open the camera.
These are wildly useful features I use all the time and miss anytime I switch away from a Motorola phone. Explore this part of the Moto app and discover some amazing Moto additions.
