New phone unfamiliar with device

Okay, *****!
Does your phone specify what particular update is needed?

Customer Replay

Old Motorola would ask for updates and storage

Customer Replay

It just says need to update press here

I recommend you clear cached data on your Motorola to prevent getting the message it is out of memory
Please clear all cached data on your Motorola:

  1. From a Home screen, swipe up to access all apps.
  2. Navigate Settings > Storage.
  3. Tap Storage manager.
  4. Tap Use Storage manager to turn on off.


Enabling the storage manager will help clear up storage space automatically.
