One of the biggest drawbacks of the old Windows Phone was the lack of third-party apps. The feed is a cool feature, showing me recent texts I’d sent and received with big windows for news stories as well as the photos I took over the last couple days. It was a bit of a shock at first as the layout of the screen changed, and a more Windows-esque display replaced the usual setup of my phone, but I was able to keep the same wallpaper. The setup doesn’t take long, and it mostly just requires signing in with a Microsoft account and granting a litany of permissions. A customized feed collects everything in one place, including documents, social media posts and emails.Īs an unrepentant Windows Phone lover, I gave Microsoft Launcher a quick test this week on my Android phone in the hopes of traveling in the wayback machine to the days of my LG Quantum with the slide-out keyboard. Launcher includes the ability to jump back into Office documents and other projects right where the user left off. Launcher makes the most sense for people who are deep into the Microsoft ecosystem and have to shuttle back and forth between devices often.
The update, Launcher version 4.11, is rolling out gradually and has yet to appear widely in the Google Play store. Microsoft just released an update to Microsoft Launcher with a bunch of new features, including multi-turn text messaging through Cortana, which means users can send several texts within a conversation via voice command without having to invoke the digital assistant each time.
