Microsoft has been a while decided to stop competing against Android and iOS, leaving Windows Phone aside. Since then, it has embraced the Android ecosystem, creating high quality applications such as its Office office suite, or the Microsoft Launcher.

Microsoft Launcher is one of the best Android home screens, especially if you use several Microsoft services, since integrates seamlessly with your Windows 10 PC and the rest of applications and services of Redmond.

Now we can have several weather widgets.

In recent days, Microsoft has deployed the update of its launcher to version 5.3, which includes the following improvements:

  • Redesign of the weather widget: In addition to having a new design, we now have a weather widget. We can add several weather widgets with different locations.
  • User experience improvements.
  • Tasks are integrated with Microsoft To-Do.
  • The news section now has a "Technology" category.
  • Users who use the work profile can now access their work applications.
  • The "Beta Community" settings link has changed to "Microsoft Tech Community".

This new version began to be deployed a few days ago, so if you are a Microsoft browser user you may have already received this new version. If you have not received the update yet and Google Play tells you that there are no new updates, you can always download this version in APKMirror.
