With the launch of the new Moto X, some of Motorola's core services are getting renamed. Touchless Control is now Moto Voice and the change has already been reflected in the Play Store. The renaming also includes a new app icon and user interface changes. Moto Voice allows users to assign a launch phrase to the device to activate it. The voice assistant will also speak back with more functionality. The voice commands now support non-Motorola apps that right now include Facebook, WhatsApp, and YouTube. This update is what allows the new Moto X to work with the Moto 360 and Moto Hint.

Motorola has confirmed that existing devices, including last year's Moto X and the DROID (2013) family, will receive all new software as long as the hardware allows.
