Microsoft today has announced two new big features on Microsoft Launcher. The new version, Microsoft Launcher v5.1 now has a Microsoft To-Do integration along with the Sticky Notes. The To-Do integration, however, is not something new as Microsoft Launcher already has a similar tool for quite some time now. With this update, Microsoft is embedding the Microsoft To-Do app, replacing the previous one. Microsoft also introduced a feature that can track your screen time and app usage much like the Digital Wellbeing app from Google. The update is currently available for those opted for Beta and will roll-out to public in coming days.
Here is the full official changelog:
- Track your screen time, app usage and phone unlocks with the new screen time card. You can even use the screen time widget to view this info on your home screen.
- The Launcher To Do card now shows tasks from apps like Microsoft To Do, Outlook and Skype.
- The Launcher Notes card now shows your Notes from Sticky Notes on Windows, Outlook, Cortana and OneNote mobile.
- Cortana now has an updated card with support for commute/traffic and multi-commitments.
- “Hey Cortana” is now enabled as a beta feature for the en-us market.
- Cortana support is now available in the ES-ES market.
- Bing mini-answers now shows you quick answers for stocks and currency in the Launcher Search bar.
