Microsoft adds unread email count icon badge to Outlook for Android on some devices and Microsoft Launcher.

Microsoft published an update for its Outlook client on Android that will let users see the number of unread emails right on their devices home screen. However, two conditions apply. First, the new numbered icon badge will work on Samsung, LG and Sony devices using the default launcher. Secondly, any device running the latest version of the Microsoft Launcher will also get the new badge. The new email count is nice to have, but I don't feel it will change anything in my interaction with the app.

This new feature is already available for download in Google Play Store for Microsoft Launcher users. I assume other users must watch for an update for their devices' default launcher.
