Motorola continues to expand its Android 16 beta program to the more affordable Moto G-series lineup, with the Moto G56 being the latest to join the party. The beta program recently went live for the Moto G75 and Moto G67, and now for the G56.
The Android 16 beta program for the Moto G56 is available in multiple regions, including Brazil, Latin America, and Europe, as shared by a senior MotoAgent on the official community forum. If you own a Moto G56 and live in a supported region, you can register for the beta program to get early access to the latest features and upgrades.
If your application gets approved, you will receive the Android 16 beta on your Motorola phone via an OTA upgrade. You should receive a notification for the same in the notification center. Alternatively, you can navigate to Settings > System updates > Check for updates to manually check for updates.
After upgrading to Android 16, you’ll notice several useful upgrades and new features on your device. This includes a new Notification cooldown feature to prevent you from getting annoyed when an app sends you too many notifications in a small time period. There’s also a new Flash notification feature inside the Settings app, which, when enabled, flashes the screen or the camera on receiving calls and notifications.
Android 16 on Motorola phones also introduces custom modes, allowing users to create profiles for different activities. There’s also an Advanced protection feature designed to keep the device safe from various kinds of threats and vulnerabilities. Furthermore, the update improves compatibility with Bluetooth LE audio devices.
