What’s new: Motorola smartphones have been caught hijacking the Amazon shopping app to silently insert affiliate codes, redirecting users through the browser when launching the app from the home screen. The behaviour has been traced to a recent update of the Smart Feed app pre-installed on devices like the Motorola Razr Fold (2026), raising serious concerns about undisclosed monetisation practices on consumer hardware.
Who’s affected
Users of Motorola smartphones — particularly those with the latest Smart Feed app update, including the Razr Fold (2026) and potentially other recent Motorola models — are affected when launching the Amazon app normally.
What to do
- Disable the Smart Feed app immediately: go to Settings → Apps → search “Smart Feed” → Disable.
- Check for other pre-installed apps on your device that may exhibit similar affiliate-injection behaviour.
- Consider providing feedback to Motorola directly — practices like this should be disclosed to consumers at point of sale.
