Microsoft renames Arrow Launcher to Microsoft Launcher with new design and features.


Today Microsoft has rebranded its launcher app for Android. Arrow Launcher is more, make place for Microsoft Launcher. A change that makes sense as the previous one was no indication that the launcher was developed by the software giant. And of course, there is more to it as Microsoft Launcher gets a new logo, a redesign and some new features.

Top on the list of new features is the addition of “Continue on PC”. If you’ve never heard of it before, it’s a useful feature that lets users easily share files from a phone to a PC running Windows 10, obviously.

Microsoft Launcher also includes support for gestures. For example, users can double tap to screen lock or swipe down to do a search, etc. Users can re-assign these gestures to perform other tasks in the app settings. The launcher also supports pining contacts to the Home screen, in folders or on the dock.

The launcher also brings an improved personalized feed which you can access by swiping from the left on the Home screen. The personalized feed can even be set as the default Home screen, bringing everything you like on your main screen for quick access.

Long time Arrow Launcher user will notice much of the change that the new Microsoft Launcher brings. For those looking for a new launcher on their Android devices, check out Microsoft Launcher in Google Play Store.
