Microsoft rebrands Arrow Launcher on Android as Microsoft Launcher

On top of unveiling Microsoft Edge for mobile, Microsoft has built on its Arrow Launcher on Android and relaunches this officially as Microsoft Launcher. Since customization is at the heart of Android, it lets companies like Microsoft explore making launchers that customize the home screen among other things. With The Feed, you get to see your most-used apps, important events, recent news, and others, all customized to your preferences and needs. Aside from that, this Fluent design-based launcher also brings “Continue on PC” feature, making it easy to transition between your Android and Windows machine. The counterpart for Continue on PC on Windows 10 is coming with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.

The launcher also offers gesture support and will let you put icons of your favorite people right on the home screen. It’s currently available for Preview and can be downloaded by all Android users. If you’re using Arrow Launcher, you’ll get the Microsoft Launcher update.
