Continue files opened on Android on Windows 10 PC.Proactive suggestions, and ability to directly pick up files where left off without having to leave the Launcher experience to go searching.Fluent Design and more ways to customize wallpapers, icons, and the phone folders.Integrated Cortana that's much more useful and accessible than a stand-alone alone iPhone App.The features from Microsoft Launcher listed below are just a few reasons I want to give up iPhone for good. So, like my colleague Kareem Anderson points out, I'll say that Microsoft Launcher has more of what Windows and Microsoft fans want. Simply put, in iPhone, there are no proactive suggestions or ways to get your Microsoft content more easily.

And, if I want to run Bing searches, I need to download the Bing app. If I want to see that screenshot I took on my Windows 10 PC, I need to open OneDrive. If I want to continue working on a Word Doc, I need to open the Word app. Now that I'm full-on iPhone, I look out and see that Microsoft Launcher on Android has come a long way- and is another selling point for Windows users to enjoy Microsoft experiences on the go with Android.Ĭurrently, with my iPhone, most of my Microsoft integrations have to be done via an app. Back when I was an Android user, I never really used Launcher (then called Arrow Launcher) because it wasn't so integrated with the Windows or Microsoft ecosystem. Over the past few months, Microsoft has introduced many new features to the Microsoft Launcher app on Android.

Long story short, if I can't get my text messages to sync up on my daily device (a Surface Pro 4) then it might be time to permanently switch back to Android to enjoy all this upcoming Android-Windows 10 PC syncing. Yes, syncing my messages to my iPad is cool, but I barely ever use the thing to care enough about it. I do own a Mac and an iPad, but I still prefer using Windows 10 more than anything else. But as someone who is integrated with Windows 10, I did feel a bit cold knowing that I won't ever be able to reply to text messages from my iPhone to my PC. Since Apple has a walled garden around iPhone and wants users to sync up with MacOS and other iOS devices, I was not too surprised. The reason why? A subsequent interview from Microsoft’s Shilpa Ranganathan revealed that Apple won't allow the Your Phone app to sync text messages. I was very impressed with how it allows for messages, photos, and notifications to sync to Windows 10, but by Day 2 of Build 2018 I was a bit worried my iPhone might be left out of the fun. On the first day of Build 2018, Microsoft showcased Your Phone, a new experience in Windows 10 which enables a seamless transition from content on your phone to PC. Your Phone works with Windows 10, but maybe not iPhone? There's an explainer at the bottom of the post for more on that. Factoid: I actually was once an avid Android user, but I switched to iPhone last year after a disaster involving my phone deleting all my photos from the May 2 Microsoft EDU event.
