Motorola Razr phones are secretly hijacking Amazon launches with affiliate redirects

Motorola Razr phones are under scrutiny after reports that opening Amazon from the app drawer briefly routes through third-party affiliate URLs.

Logs point to Motorola’s preinstalled Smart Feed app as the source of the redirects, which appear on certain devices and software versions.

Users say disabling Smart Feed stops the behavior, suggesting the launcher or system feed may be intercepting normal app launches.

The finding raises privacy, transparency, and trust concerns because a system app may be adding monetized redirects without clear user consent.
