Motorola rolled out the Android 9.0 Pie update for the Moto Z3 last month. And now, it’s rolling out Android Pie update for one more smartphone in the Moto Z series – the Moto Z3 Play.
The Moto Z3 Play was launched last year in June with Android 8.1 Oreo. And now, after more than six months from the launch, it’s receiving Android 9.0 Pie which is the latest version of Android. The Android Pie update for Moto Z3 Play is rolled out over-the-air, but currently, it’s only rolled out to the units in the US. However, Moto Z3 Play in other countries should get Android Pie soon.
If you happen to live in the US, make sure you are connected to a Wi-Fi network and have at least 50% battery on your phone before installing the Android Pie update. If you don’t get an update notification, you can check for the update manually by heading over to the Settings > System > System updates menu.
