Hands-free functions updated for devices running Kit Kat
Motorola has updated the Touchless Control app in Google Play, and this time around it’s more than juts a bug-fix. The latest version of the application allows for more commands to work while your phone is locked, and the ability to speak your PIN number to unlock it. The change log:
- More Google Now commands now work without having to unlock your phone first. Personal information such as emails, messages, and contacts are still protected by your PIN or password.
- Say your pin to unlock your phone when using Touchless Control
- New listening tone when you say “OK Google Now”
- Compatible only with Android 4.4 KitKat
- Bug fixes
This looks to be a great update for those times when you’re not connected to a Trusted Bluetooth device, and it’s nice to see Motorola realizes that not everything should be accessible while the phone is locked up.
The Kit Kat only bit is a little worrisome, because that means the Droids are out of this one until Verizon gets the update pushed out. Hopefully, that’s soon and everybody with a X8 device can have a go. You can find the update at the Google Play link above.
