Yesterday, Microsoft announced Windows Phone 8.1, the biggest baddest update of them all, the one we’ve been waiting for. Although we’ve heard most of the features already here’s what’s new (officially):
- Action center with quick shortcuts that are customizable
- New losckscreen APIs that are fully customizable by developers
- Ability to “show more tiles” (like Windows 8) = 3 columns
- Live tile backgrounds
- Cortana, the live assistant that has absorbed the full internet.
- VPN Support
- Updated calendar view, with weekly view and swiping between days
- WiFi Sense
- In phone call switching to videos
- Wordflow keyboard
Those are what Microsoft officially announced on stage today; but we’ve seen much much more into the leaked build.
