Motorola has also made some company-specific changes in the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update. The 'Do not disturb' option can be found under the 'Sound and notification' settings, while the company is also removing Moto Assist feature in the update.

"Android M also enhances support for backing up user data. These improvements duplicate most of what Motorola Migrate provides. Consequently, we'll retire Motorola Migrate and no longer preload it going forward. We will also retire the Google Chrome extension found in Motorola Connect. Since we created Motorola Connect, several similar services have shown up on Google Play and many consumers have moved from SMS to other over-the-top messaging services," the blog post added.

As per the company's latest post on its blog, Android 6.0 Marshmallow is due to reach Moto X (Gen 2) in regions including Asia, Canada, Latin America, and Europe in phases. In the US, only Moto X Pure Edition will be receiving the update.
