Moreover, the Android 17 beta update reportedly brings Qira, Motorola's latest Moto AI assistant, along with cloud connection via Smart Connect, and a new notification management system. Further, the report highlighted that users have complained that their Motorola Signature feels warmer than usual after the Android 17 beta update.

Citing a user, the report pointed out that the company has also made certain changes to the HelloUI app drawer on the Motorola Signature with the Android 17 beta update. For reference, it reportedly removes the MotoAI icon from the app drawer search bar, while also offering “better” background blur. The app folders are said to now have a 3x3 grid layout, instead of a 2x2 layout. The update reportedly removes app titles while adding a create folder button and adding tints to apps.
