moto g play - 2023 - Restart Device

Here's how to restart your moto g play - 2023 if it crashes and resets, freezes or runs slowly.
Restarting your moto g play - 2023 can help if you experience continuous resetting / rebooting, crashing, freezing or if the touchscreen is unresponsive.
  • Since this device has a non-removable battery, the restart (soft reset) process can be used to simulate a 'battery pull' when the device is unresponsive, frozen or doesn't power on.
