Microsoft announces Edge Browser and a new Launcher for Android

Microsoft announced today two new apps, Microsoft Edge for iOS/Android and Microsoft Launcher for Android, the company is working hard to make the user experience more seamless and continuous regardless of the screen a user is looking at or even if they change in the middle of a task. 

Microsoft Edge is currently in a testing phase, which is available only for iOS users for now but it will be available for Android soon. In addition, Microsoft is inviting Windows Insiders in the U.S. to sign up here. Android users can also sign up at that same link — the preview will hit the Google Play Store in the coming weeks. Later in the year, Microsoft is expected to launch Edge Mobile final version to all users. 

A notable feature of Microsoft Edge on Android and iOS for existing Windows 10 users would be the ability to push web pages across the devices and instantly continue working on different platforms. 

The browser will only be offered in English at first, but more languages will be released as the project advances. Also, some features like roaming passwords and support for iPad and Android tablets will not be included in the first versions as they require additional work. 

Coming to Microsoft Launcher, which is based on Fluent design, allows you to further customize what you see. In addition to "Continue on PC," you can place icons of your favorite people on your home screen. It also offers The Feed, where you can find your most-used apps, recent news, important events and more, all tailored to your needs. You can access The Feed by swiping right.
