Microsoft Launcher 5.0 comes with Windows Timeline support
Microsoft Launcher 5.0 now available (Source: Google Play)
After spending a bit over a month in the Beta stage, Microsoft Launcher 5.0 is finally available for everyone as a stable release. The most important changes are the introduction of an updated Your Feed page and Windows Timeline support, but there are various other goodies in store as well.
Back in early October, Microsoft Launcher 5.0 arrived as a Beta release for those adventurous enough to try it. Now, the stable version of this popular piece of code is rolling out to all Android users who want to get more out of their devices than the default launcher can provide.
Without further ado, these are the essential changes that Microsoft Launcher 5.0 delivers:
Feed - updated navigation for Glance, News and Timeline tabs. Feed settings accessible from the top of the Feed
News - Microsoft News-powered news experience
Timeline on mobile - see activities from PC and phone on the Android device
Cortana - send emails with multi-turn emailing
Family - real-time kids' location tracking
With more than 10 million installs so far, Microsoft Launcher requires Android 4.2 Jelly Bean or later versions. It has 25 MB in size and holds an excellent rating of 4.6 stars on Google Play after being rated by over 730,000 users. A version for iOS is not available yet, if you were wondering.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
