Hi there!
As the
next part of our journey, we're so excited to announce that Arrow Launcher is
now Microsoft Launcher. Not only have we re-branded the product, we've added
several new features that represent our goal to provide the best
productive/personalized/customized experience for anyone with an Android
device. Our mission is to provide all Android customers the ability to choose
their own personalized look, stay organized on the go, and be productive across
all of their devices.
Here are
a few key highlights of what's new!
-Microsoft
Fluent Design- Microsoft Launcher has been redesigned using Microsoft's Fluent
Design system.
-Continue
on PC- Customers with a Windows PC can now snap a pic on their phone and see it
instantly on their Windows PC using "Continue on PC" in the Recent
Activities card. You can do the same for your Office documents and even
webpages! All you need is the latest Windows Fall Creator's Update installed on
your Windows PC.
-Your
personalized feed- The Utility Page is now your personalized feed. You'll
notice the redesigned Me Card, Calendar card and minor visual design changes to
the other cards. There are a lot more upcoming updates to the feed so stay
tuned!
-Gesture
support- One of our hottest pieces of feedback from you, our beta family.
Microsoft Launcher now supports custom gestures! You can double tap to lock
your phone, swipe up for the app drawer and more. Check them out and let us
know how you like them!
-Choose
your look- Choose your look and make your phone truly yours. For those who want
to add a personal touch to their Microsoft Launcher experience, you can select
a custom background theme and accent color to personalize your experience.
We've also refreshed our set of preloaded wallpapers in addition to the Bing
daily wallpapers you know and love.
-People
at your fingertips- You can now keep the most important people literally at
your fingertips. From the People card, you can pin contacts directly to the
Home screen, organize them in folders or even put them on the dock!
These are
just a couple of key changes in our 4.1 release! Please try them out and send
us feedback! Post your new launcher looks in the community and help other

Launcher beta family! Please send us feedback!
