Thanks! :)

(I still reckon my mom needs a new phone though, there are other less severe exploits out there for this non-updated device.)

Moto seems to put out a new Moto G every year, and I've had good success with just replacing the old ones with the new ones.

Yes, an iPhone is better, but if you're on a budget and don't have those security needs, the Moto G seems fine.

If you don't need something secure, get a Moto. Check.
