The update was spotted through multiple posts on Motorola’s official forums , and if you’re using one of the supported phones, you can already sign up.
These Motorola phones in India are now eligible
Here are the models that support Android 16 beta in India:
Some models like the Edge 60 Neo and ThinkPhone 25 are part of the program in other regions, but the phones above are the ones that matter if you’re in India right now.
What you need before signing up
Before you jump in, make sure a few basics are sorted.
Your phone should be running the latest stable Motorola software. You’ll also need your IMEI or serial number, since Motorola uses that to check eligibility. And you’ll need a Motorola Community account, which is where everything happens.
Also, keep in mind that this is beta software. It can have bugs, random crashes, or battery issues. It’s better to avoid installing it on a phone you rely on for work.
Step by step: How to join the Android 16 beta
First, go to Motorola’s community website and sign in or create an account. Once you’re in, open your profile and add your phone’s IMEI or serial number.
After that, look for the option to opt in to MFN, which stands for Motorola Feedback Network. This is what puts your account into their beta testing system.
Next, head to the MFN Beta Testing Opportunities page. If your phone is eligible, you’ll see Android 16 listed there. Open it, tap the registration link, and fill in the required details.
Once you submit, Motorola will review your request. If it gets approved, you’ll receive a notification by email, and the update will show up on your phone.
To install it, go to Settings, then System updates, and tap Check for updates.
Things to know before installing
The Android 16 beta update is over 1GB in size, so make sure you’ve got enough free storage. Motorola also recommends having at least 30 percent battery before starting the update.
Because this is beta software, some apps might not work properly. You might also see random glitches or slower performance. That’s normal at this stage.
