#2Well it's a test, so I suppose the only logical response is for everyone who received it, to open a Motorola Support ticket to indicate the success?

#3There's a thread on Reddit r/TechSupport on this. Moto phones worldwide getting the notification.

#4Oddly enough I only received it on a 2015 moto x4 running Android 9 with the Device Help app on version 11.5.9 at 4:40 pm UTC on 8/25/2023. No permissions granted.

#5Well.. that explains away today's WTF moment...
I had assumed it was the cat doing something to the phone while I was asleep. ;-)

That's for the "noobs". If you're semi-knowleegable, you google it, find the ticket, and add 527th comment saying "this happened to me too!".
Even on GitHub where the supposed experts hang out I see this behavior...

#7Same here - same phone & OS - Moto x4, Android 9. I'd love to believe it's an innocuous mis-released test notification, but this would be the first time in all my years of having android devices I've seen one; seems like a bit of a red flag to me . . .

Sure, for open projects.
But most closed projects and commercial services, the bugdbs are most certainly neither customer-facing nor self-service. You'll never find it by Search, and the only way to "me too" is with a Contact Support session.

> We've learned that this was a Motorola test that shouldn't have gone to end-users and there's nothing else to add.

#10Moto g play (2019) received it mid-morning. It's probably going out in waves to anyone running "Moto Help Service"
