Discover your Moto X
Your new phone knows whether you’re in the car, in a meeting, or at home, and adapts to you. Your phone responds to your voice and hand gestures, and shows you notifications discreetly.
Tip: To adjust these features at any time, touch Apps >
Moto.
Moto Assist
Based on where you are and what you are doing, Moto Assist suggests ways to help you throughout your day. For example, it’ll ask you if you prefer to keep your phone silent at night while you are sleeping or read text messages when you’re driving.
Moto Voice
Your new phone is always ready for you. Use your voice to control your phone, even when it’s not within reach.
•Choose it: Use the Moto app to set your own custom phrase, like “OK Moto X” or “Listen Up Moto.”
•Use it: Say your custom phrase, then “What’s up?” to hear notifications without unlocking your phone or “Voicemail” to listen to messages. If you misplace your phone nearby, say “Find my phone” to make your phone ring.
Try more phrases, like “Where’s the nearest coffee shop?” or “Do I need an umbrella today?”
•Get help: Touch Apps> Help. For more commands, say your custom phrase, then “Help me.”
Tip: You can use your voice to control apps like Facebook™, Whatsapp™ and YouTube™.
“OK Moto X . . . Help me.”
“. . . What’s up? ”
“. . . Call Lisa.”
“. . . Find my phone.”

Apps from the web
You can get apps from online app stores using your browser.
Tip: Choose your apps and updates carefully, as some may impact your phone’s performance—see “Choose carefully”.

Choose carefully
Apps are great. There's something for everyone. Play, communicate, work, or have fun. But remember, choose your apps carefully. Here are a few tips:
•To help prevent spyware, phishing, or viruses from affecting your phone or privacy, use apps from trusted sites, like Google Play Store.
•In Google Play Store, check the app’s ratings and comments before installing.

•If you doubt the safety of an app, don’t install it.
•Like all apps, downloaded apps will use up memory, data, battery, and processing power—some more than others. For example, a simple battery level widget will use less than a streaming music player app. After installing an app, if you’re not happy with how much memory, data, battery or processing power it’s using, uninstall it. You can always install it again later.
•Just like web browsing, you may want to monitor children’s access to apps to help prevent exposure to inappropriate content.
•Certain apps may not provide completely accurate information. Take care, especially when it comes to personal health.
Take care of your apps
From your home screen touch Apps , then swipe left to scroll through apps. To close the apps screen, touch Home or Back.
•Uninstall apps: Touch Apps > Settings > Apps. Swipe left to ALL, touch an app, then touch Disable or Uninstall in the top right (if available).
Disable removes the app from your menu—to Enable it, reopen this window and touch Enable (disabled apps are at the bottom of the list).
If an app locks up your phone as soon as you turn it on, restart in Safe Mode: Turn off your phone, then turn it back on—when you see the “Motorola” logo during power-up,
press and hold both volume keys until you see the home screen, with Safe Mode in the lower left. Then, try removing the app.
•Reinstall apps: To reinstall apps from Google Play Store,
touch Apps >Play Store > My apps. The apps you downloaded are listed and available for download.
•Share, show, or clear app details: Touch Apps
> Settings > Apps. A bar at the bottom tells you how much app storage space you have left. Swipe left or right to see the list of DOWNLOADED, RUNNING, or ALL apps, then touch an app in the list to show its details and storage usage. You can touch Clear data, Clear cache, or other options.
Tip: To quickly show these app details from your app screen: Touch and hold an app, then drag it to App info.
•Show app data usage: To show which apps are using the most data, touch Apps > Settings > Data usage. For more, see “Data use”.
