Motorola AI Key Unlocked
New MotoKey Plus app turns locked-down button into customizable shortcut with single press, double press, and press-and-hold actions
A new app called MotoKey Plus has been released, allowing users to customize the AI key on Motorola phones. The app turns the AI key into a fully customizable shortcut button, giving users more control over their device.
The MotoKey Plus app allows users to assign separate actions for single press, double press, and press-and-hold. This means that users can customize the button to perform different actions depending on how they press it. For example, a single press could turn on the flashlight, while a double press could take a screenshot.
Users can assign a range of useful everyday actions to the button, including media controls, notifications, Quick Settings, and Gemini. The app also allows users to remap the button to launch virtually any app, giving them even more flexibility.
The MotoKey Plus app is currently unofficial and can only be sideloaded, but the developer has announced plans to release it on Google Play in the future. The app is compatible with a range of Motorola devices, including the Edge 60 Pro, Edge 70 Pro, and Razr Ultra 2025.
## Why it matters The release of the MotoKey Plus app is significant because it gives users more control over their Motorola devices. The AI key on Motorola phones has been criticized for being locked down, with the company limiting what the button can do. The MotoKey Plus app changes this, allowing users to customize the button to suit their needs.
The app is also a testament to the flexibility of the Android operating system, which allows developers to create custom apps that can enhance the user experience. As Motorola continues to improve its software experience and offer longer support promises, the release of the MotoKey Plus app is a welcome addition for Android fans.
