Motorola Edge 50 Pro missing Circle to Search, Theft Detection, Moto AI and other features after Android 15 update

Motorola Edge 50 Pro users have been buzzing about a series of seemingly missing features after the Android 15 update. Among the most talked-about are Circle to Search, the Theft Detection feature, Moto AI, a Notepad app, and even iCloud integration. If you’re scratching your head wondering where these features went (or if they were ever supposed to be there in the first place), you’re not alone. Let’s break it down.

This feature, which lets users draw a circle on the screen to initiate a search, has been rolling out gradually to select devices, but it’s nowhere to be seen on the Motorola Edge 50 Pro after the Android 15 update. Motorola support has assured users they’re actively investigating whether Circle to Search was meant to be part of the update for the Edge 50 Pro. While there’s no definitive answer yet, it’s clear that Motorola is taking the feedback seriously and working to clarify its status.

Circle to Search: We are currently investigating the availability of the “Circle to Search” feature in the Android 15 update for the Moto Edge 50 Pro. We’re trying to confirm whether this feature should be present in the current update.

Some users have noticed that the Theft Detection feature is missing, leaving them concerned about device security. Theft Detection is a feature rolled out to all Android 10 and newer devices through a Google Play system update, so its absence on the Edge 50 Pro after the Android 15 update is particularly puzzling. Motorola support is on the case, checking with the development team to determine whether this feature should be available on the Edge 50 Pro. Given its standard inclusion in recent Android versions, users are eagerly awaiting clarification on this anomaly.

Circle to Search,Theft Protection Feature, and Moto AI: Let me get this checked with our team to confirm if it’s really missing to know how to get it working.

Moto AI, touted for its ability to enhance user experience with real world tasks like ordering a cab or ice cream, appears to have taken a backseat in the Android 15 update. Like with the other features, Motorola is digging into whether Moto AI was intended to be included in the current software build. For now, it seems this AI-powered helper is on a break.

If you’re hunting for a dedicated Notepad app on your Motorola Edge 50 Pro, here’s the scoop: there isn’t one. Instead, the device comes pre-installed with Google Keep, which serves as the default note-taking app. While it’s not a classic Notepad, Google Keep offers robust features for jotting down thoughts, creating checklists, and syncing across devices.

Note Pad: The Moto Edge 50 Pro comes pre-installed with Google Keep, which serves as the default note-taking application. A separate “Note Pad” application is not included.

Apple’s iCloud is famously exclusive to its ecosystem, so don’t expect seamless integration with Android devices like the Moto Edge 50 Pro. While some third-party apps might offer workarounds for accessing iCloud data, native integration isn’t in the cards — and never was.

iCloud Integration: iCloud is an Apple service designed for iOS devices. Integration with iCloud is not natively supported on Android devices, including the Moto Edge 50 Pro.

Motorola support is actively gathering feedback and working to clarify the status of these missing features. While there’s no timeline for definitive answers, their responsiveness is a good sign that users’ concerns are being heard. For now, if you’re longing for Circle to Search or wondering why Theft Detection and even Moto AI are MIA, keep an eye on updates and official announcements. And remember, while the Android 15 update brought plenty of improvements, it’s always a good idea to double-check the feature list before diving in.

Let’s hope Motorola gets to the bottom of these mysteries soon, so the Edge 50 Pro can live up to its full potential.
