With either method, users will have to then select 'Yes, I'm in', to authorise the download of the update, and then click 'Install now'.

An XDA Developers' forum member also posted a screenshot of the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the Moto G (Gen 1), showing the build number and changelog.

Notably, the company has also posted the changelog for the update on 'Release Notes' support page and it includes the new Material Design UI with fluid animations to new application and system themes, colours and widgets, as well as the new notifications UI that will now appear on the lock screen.
