How can I access the apps on the Moto E (4th Gen. Plus) or download others?

Open an application

Your phone comes with some apps pre installed, and you can download and install more.  

To open an app, from the home screen, touch Apps Image and touch an application from the list.


Switch between recent apps from anywhere

If you’re surfing the Web and want to quickly bring up your music player to switch songs, touch Overview (Recent) Image

This displays a list of the most recent apps you've been using so that you can switch to another.

From here, you can also see all of your recently used apps. Touch the app icon to open the recently used app.


Download apps

  1. Touch Apps Image
  2. Touch Play Store 
  3. Browse the Store for the app(s) you are interested in.
