My LG Premiere Pro has done a full Android update several times since I got it last September. It just completed the latest one this week.

Yes, my husband has the same Motorola TracFone, and his updated as well. He has been using it since receiving it months ago. I was shocked about the update. Pleased but shocked!

I personally wouldn't update the Motorola G6. Read this article dated July 29, 2019:
https://piunikaweb.com/2019/07/19/motorola-moto-g6-pin-patter-lock-issue-comes-to-light-after-androi...
The article states:
Moto G6 users are disappointed for how instead of fixing the problem which is now being reported for months, the OEM is continuing releasing the buggy update and is till date asking the affected users to factory reset their units.
In case you haven’t yet got the Pie update on your Moto G6 unit, we’d suggest you to disable PIN/pattern lock before installing the update, else you may also have to factory reset your unit. Sad but that’s how it currently stands.
NOTE: BTW Pie update on Moto G6 has also triggered a freezing/lag issue. You can find the complete coverage on the matter here. And for more LG-related news, bugs/issues and updates, interested readers may head here.

Thanks for the information. Do folks read reviews before buying a phone? Tracfone will not support any firmwire update.

Opting for updates complicates life for those supplying the updates. Very often new updates build on older ones and if the older update isn't there, the new update has nothing to build on, and chaos ensues. If you look at the Windows ecosystem for example, if users opt to only install some updates but not others, later updates might have to be compatible hundreds, thousands, or more variations of Windows depending on which previous updates users chose to install.
Windows 10 has been around four full years now. If every user was cherry picking which updates to install there might be ten thousand or more versions of Windows 10 floating around now. Let's say their first Windows 10 update had just two patches. You could have one version that was unpatched, one that was patched with the first patch, one that was patched with the second patch, and one more that used both patches. Instead of one version of Windows 10, there could now be four versions. With each new patch released the number of possible versions increases. Let's say just one more patch was released. You could have one fully unpatched, one only patched with the first patch, one with just the second patch, one with just the third patch, one fully patched, one patched with the first and third patch, one patched with just the second and third patch.
As you can see the complexity ramps up very quickly if you make updating optional. If future patches build on pre-existing patches but those patches weren't installed, things start to get absurdly complicated. I've always been of the belief that if the people who created to OS say "this needs to be done," I do it. If it messes something up, oh well, one of us will figure out a solution. Cherry picking which updates to install almost always leads to far more trouble than it prevents. If they say, "We think you should install this," I say, "Fine, happy to do so."
