WhatsApp for Motorola Moto G23

This is usually caused by a third-party app or screen protector blocking the bottom mic, or by the noise-suppression setting misrouting audio. Open Phone app > three-dot menu > Settings and disable any 'Noise reduction' option, then test a call in Safe Mode (hold the power button, then long-press 'Power off' until 'Safe mode' appears) to rule out an app. If it persists, clear the Phone app cache under Settings > Apps > Phone > Storage & cache > Clear cache and make sure no case covers the mic openings.

Ghost touch on the G23 is often triggered by a cheap charger sending electrical noise to the panel, or by a low-quality screen protector, so first unplug the charger to see if the phantom taps stop and remove any protector. Reboot the phone and check Settings > System > Advanced > Reset options to clear any stuck calibration, and update to the latest software via Settings > System > System updates. If it only happens while charging, switch to the original Motorola TurboPower charger and cable, as off-brand chargers are the most common cause. See how others solved this on Reddit

Motorola's system dark theme is under Settings > Display > Dark theme, but to force it on apps that don't support it you need the hidden Developer options. Go to Settings > About phone and tap 'Build number' seven times to unlock Developer options, then open Settings > System > Developer options and enable 'Override force-dark'. This applies a system-level dark filter to apps that normally stay white, though a few apps may render imperfectly. See how others solved this on Reddit

With only 4-8GB of RAM the G23 slows down when background apps and cached junk pile up, so start by clearing space under Settings > Storage and removing apps you don't use. Turn off animations via Developer options (tap Build number seven times in Settings > About phone, then set Window, Transition, and Animator scale to 0.5x or off), and disable bloatware you can't uninstall under Settings > Apps. If it's still sluggish, back up your data and do a factory reset under Settings > System > Reset options, which clears the slowdowns most reliably. See how others solved this on Reddit

The Moto G23 shipped with Android 13 and Motorola only promised one major OS upgrade (to Android 14) plus three years of bimonthly security patches, so major feature updates are limited. Check for whatever is available under Settings > System > System updates and tap 'Check for updates'; if Android 14 hasn't installed, make sure you're on Wi-Fi with enough free storage. Once the major-update window closes you'll still get security patches, but don't expect Android 15 on this model. See how others solved this on Reddit

The Moto G23 uses an LCD panel rather than OLED, so it generally avoids the aggressive low-frequency PWM flicker that bothers sensitive users on AMOLED phones, but its backlight can still dim via PWM at low brightness. To ease eye strain, keep brightness a bit higher and enable the warmer Night Light schedule under Settings > Display > Night Light, and turn off Adaptive brightness so the panel doesn't constantly modulate. If you're highly PWM-sensitive, an LCD model like this is usually a safer choice than an OLED Moto. See how others solved this on Reddit
