Microsoft Launcher update adds lots of new features, here is what to expect

Microsoft's popular Android launcher has just received a new update that brings many new features meant to enhance user experience. Microsoft Launcher v4.5 has a couple of improvements aimed at devices running Android Oreo, but most of the new features can be used on any compatible smartphone.

First off, the update adds the option to adjust icon size in the app drawer, dock, and home screen. Also, you can now let people attending a meeting know that you're going to be late via the calendar card.

Furthermore, if you're using Microsoft Intune, you will now be able to take advantage of Microsoft Launcher whenever you want to view corporate data. You'll also be able to create Oreo shortcuts, as well as add blank pages in vertical mode.

If your smartphone runs Android 7.0 Nougat or higher, you can now set wallpapers for home and lock screen. Finally, Microsoft has added recurring reminders for those who need them.
