Windows 10 Mobile Creators update launched
Windows 10 Mobile
might be non-existent on the global usage map, but that doesn’t stop Microsoft
from updating it. The long-awaited update by Win 10 fans named Windows 10
Mobile Redstone 2 started rolling. The main accent, per Microsoft, is that
anyone will be able “to create, share and experience in 3D and mixed reality,
connect people faster […] and empower every gamer to be a broadcaster. With the
Creators Update, Microsoft Edge will be the first browser to bring 3D to the
web”.
Changes could be seen across many apps and
features of the OS. Microsoft Edge now has a “Snooze” option that reminds you
that you have an opened tab you haven’t read in a long time and Cortana will
tell you with a notification in the Action Center.
If you are one of those guys who read books
on a smartphone instead of an e-book reader, now you can enjoy EPUB support
directly in the Edge browser. If you want to buy the e-books, you can purchase
directly from the Windows Store, but this is a US-only feature.
A lot of features are transferred from the PC
version of the Creators update like the option to turn the Wi-Fi connection on
and off at a particular preset time. Another neat feature is the ability to
reset an app, and it will return to its initial state, instead of making you
uninstall and install it all over again.
Cortana also gets better with the Creators
Update. The assistant now controls playback and volume, and you can also ask it
“What’s Playing” for that catchy tune on the radio. It also finally lets 3rd
party alarm apps to break through and alarm you even when Cortana’s Quiet Hours
are on.
Windows 10 Mobile Redstone 2 surely feels
like a true upgrade to Microsoft’s OS but only some devices will get it. Here
are the most popular ones:
- HP Elite x3
- Microsoft Lumia 550
- Microsoft Lumia 640/640XL
- Microsoft Lumia 650
- Microsoft Lumia 950/950XL
- Alcatel Idol 4s
