Microsoft’s mobile efforts with Windows Phone may have bitten the dust, but they have clearly not abandoned the mobile space. Recently they started selling Samsung Galaxy S8 Microsoft Edition in their stores and now they have announced a slew of upgrades for their Microsoft Launcher for Android (previously known as Z launcher)
These changes are only available for the beta version of Microsoft Launcher, but those using the stable build should get them very soon. Some of the features are long requested by users while some are completely new. The full list of changes are as follows:
1) App grid options: Support for 12X12 grid layout and half grid granularity.
2) New user experience: Migration from other launchers and backup / restore on welcome page.
3) Drag/drop apps do not enter edit mode.
4) Some UI adjustments: App title font display and folder icon/shape edit, dock
5) Support for more than 5 apps, search bar default to bottom. theme support for settings page, and settings page restructure.
6) Other bug fixes
The release 4.3 is available right now for all the beta testers. We expect the stable release to follow soon.
