   Why is Moto G so hard to use?

   From: NONONOmisc07@fmguy.com   
      
   I thought all Android phones were largely similar, but I recently had   
   the loan of a Moto G.   I found it much harder to use than any  previous   
   android phone I've had, a mere 3 iirc, 2 Xiaomi and one Samsung.   
      
   With those three phones there were 3 symbols at the bottom, a square, a   
   circle, and a triangle pointing left.  They were not in the same order   
   bertween brands, but the functions were the same.   
      
   ON the Moto G, they were not there.  It's only been two weeks but I'm   
   forgetting a bit.  There was a way to get to the array of icons, but   
   doing so was not like pressing the circle on the non-Moto phones. When   
   you press the circle, it takes you to the same page from which you   
   started the app you are in, at least if you are still in the app you   
   most recently started from the array (and not from the squrae) and this   
   reminds you of what app you have been in.   
      
   Also, when using whatsapp, there seemed no way to go to another app   
   without totally losing your place in whatsapp.   I was trying to read a   
   longggg chat and there was no square to tap to go to the array of   
   recently used apps, and no square to tap to return to Whatsapp in the   
   same state as when you left it.  I learned I had to do all my work   
   without leaving whatsapp, or I had to find which chat and my position in   
   that chat each time I left and returned.   
      
   Why would Motorola make things so difficult?  Why would people buy   
   motorola unless they don't know how much more useful Android can be on   
   other phones.  Both the Moto G and my current Xiami use Andrlid 11.   
      
   I'm sure there are also other times when the absence of the square,   
   circle and triangle will make things harder.   What gives?
