    While the new UI offers mostly a bloatware-free experience, it’s the ads that are annoying. For starters, the pre-installed Weather App, although can be deleted, is LOADED with ads. The ad loading also causes the app to feel super jittery and slow. So, I’d get rid of that first. Secondly, it’s the Moto Hub, which is actually a hub of ugly ads and shady app recommendations.

    There’s a Moto Hub home screen widget as well, which comes preloaded and shows ads. Moto Hub also spams you with not-so-appealing notifications. So, that’s the second thing you’d want to force stop since you can’t uninstall.

    I am so tired of companies being allowed to shove ads everywhere!

        I miss the Moto Z days. Those were some excellent phones and being able to slap an extra battery on the back was amazing. Mods could’ve gone so much further if they put some more R&D in it
