Motorola has started rolling out the Android 17 update to the Edge 70 Pro, according to a report on Reddit. The update is currently reaching the European model and is a 3.42GB download, so users should make sure they have a fast enough network connection before installing. Once installed, the phone will run software version A171WMH.44-25.
The changelog promises a fresh, expressive design, reduced clutter with smarter notifications, faster multitasking with more apps accessible at once, and extra security with enhanced protection and controls. Reported additions include new lock screen clock faces, redesigned notifications and quick settings, a new volume mixer, an updated Settings app, Live Activities support for calls, music, and the flashlight, a refreshed app drawer, better themed icon support, and improved animations. A user who received the update also says Motorola's Qira AI agent, which the company confirmed would arrive with Android 17, works well on the new build.
The Edge 70 Pro was announced in April running Android 16 and is slated to receive up to three major OS updates, making this the first of them. It joins a growing list of Motorola devices on Android 17, following the Signature in August, the Edge 60 Fusion in September, and the Razr Ultra 2026 earlier this month.
For now the update appears to be reaching a limited number of units, so it may take days or weeks for every Edge 70 Pro to receive it, and longer in markets beyond Europe. To check manually, go to Settings > System updates, and back up important data before installing.
