Motorola system apps
Motorola phones run software close to stock Android with a layer of Moto features on top: gestures, Peek display, the Moto app and Motorola's own update and support tools. Carrier-sold Motorola phones often add a carrier's apps as well. This hub lists the Motorola packages documented here and whether each one can go.

ADB notes
Motorola's software stays close to stock Android, so the Pixel steps for Developer options and USB debugging apply. The Moto app and its gesture, display and audio features live in com.motorola packages that you may want to keep even when you remove the rest.
