Moto G4 Play users around the world now getting Android Nougat update

If you recall, Lenovo-owned Motorola had announced the Android 7.1.1 Nougat roll-out for Moto G4 Play back in June. However, due to some unknown reason, at that time, the update was only available to a small percentage of users in Brazil.

Now, after six months since the first roll-out, Moto G4 Play owners around the world are finally receiving the Android Nougat update. Unfortunately, the update brings in the security patch for November, though the device will continue to get security updates. Other than that, users of the smartphone should get all the features of Android 7.1.1 like new system icons and Duo Video calling application.

The update also brings in the usual bug fixes and improvements to the Motorola Moto G4 Play.

Meanwhile, users are recommended to keep the battery at least 50 percent charged before updating to the new software. Also, the device should be connected to a Wi-Fi network or LTE as data charges may be incurred while using mobile data.

Moto G4 Play users, who haven't received the notification about the update then they can simply go to the phone's Settings >About Phone>Software updates, and the phone will automatically download the update. The update should take around 10-15 minutes to get fully installed on the device.
