Moto

The Moto app, Motorola's hub for gestures, display options, Personalize, Moto Secure, Gametime and tips. You can disable it, with a caveat: read what stops working first.

What it does

Moto is the app where Motorola groups its own features: Personalize, Gestures, Moto Secure, tips and demos, lock screen display options and Attentive display, and the Play section with Gametime and Dolby Atmos. Each feature can be turned on or off there. Community lists note that gestures set up earlier keep working through Moto Actions even without this hub. It runs when opened.

Also shown as Moto app.

If you disable it

You lose the easiest way to switch Motorola features on and off, and some settings may become unreachable. Features already turned on generally keep working.

How to disable it

On most phones Settings greys out Disable for this package, so ADB is the way to turn it off. The commands below work without root and can be undone.

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.motorola.moto

adb shell pm enable com.motorola.moto

The stronger option removes it for your user only; the original copy stays on the phone and a factory reset brings it back. Prefer disabling: it is easier to undo.

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.motorola.moto

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.motorola.moto

New to ADB? Set it up in about ten minutes.
