How to Enable and Use FM Radio on Moto G6 and Moto G

Enabling and using FM radio on Motorola devices like the Moto G6 and Moto G can enhance your listening experience. This guide will walk you through the steps to enable and use FM radio effectively, including troubleshooting tips.

Enabling FM Radio on Moto G6

To enjoy the FM radio on a Moto G6, follow these steps:

Check for Headphones: The Moto G6 utilizes a wired headphone as an antenna for FM radio reception. Ensure you have a compatible set of wired headphones connected to your phone. Open the FM Radio App: Locate the FM Radio app on your device. It may be pre-installed, which you can find in the app drawer or by searching for it in the app store. Launch the App: Tap on the FM Radio app to open it. Start Listening: Once the app is open, it should automatically detect your headphones and allow you to tune into various FM stations. You can scan for stations or enter the frequency manually. Adjust Settings: Save your favorite stations, adjust volume, and switch between stereo and mono audio settings if needed.

Need a third-party app for FM radio? You can download the Motorola FM Radio app from the Google Play Store. Although the stock app may be pre-installed, the newer version available on Google Play supports more features and can provide better performance.

Why Wired Headset is Required for FM Radio

FM Radio on Moto G requires a wired headset to function. This is a common requirement for smartphones across various brands. The wired headset acts as an antenna, capturing the FM radio broadcasts from broadcasting stations. AM stations, on the other hand, are not supported.

Any wired headset should work with the FM Radio on Moto G, not just Motorola-branded headsets.

Playing Audio from Moto G FM Radio on Headset or BT Speakers

When using the FM radio on Moto G, you can only play audio through your wired headphones. The speaker in Moto G is not capable of reproducing FM radio signals. However, you can listen to the FM radio audio through a Bluetooth accessory, such as a Bluetooth speaker or Bluetooth headset.

Pair Bluetooth Device: First, pair your Bluetooth device with the Moto G. Once paired, the audio of the FM radio will be routed to the Bluetooth device. Plug in Headset: Even when using a Bluetooth speaker or headset, the wired headset must be plugged in. The wired headset is necessary for receiving FM radio signals.

Recent updates to the FM radio app on Moto G6 have added the feature of listening to favorite FM radio stations through the phone's speaker, a Bluetooth speaker, or a wired headset. This provides three options for FM radio audio output, enhancing usability.

For in-depth troubleshooting and further assistance with FM radio on your Moto G6 or Moto G, refer to the device's user manual or contact Motorola support.
