14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has just released an update for the Phone app integrated into Windows 10 Mobile, and although no release notes have been provided, it seems to be faster than before on Lumia phones.
With Windows 10 Mobile, the company has made the Phone feature of the operating system a dedicated app in order to be able to update it through the store, and because it wants to do this regularly, such a strategy definitely comes in handy.
But since it's a completely new app, Phone didn't work exactly as expected, and it sometimes became really slow and took unexpectedly long to launch.
And yet, this new update seems to make it much snappier on our Lumia 950 XL, which is living proof that Microsoft's hard at work these days to improve the overall performance of the built-in apps, but also of the operating system as a whole.
As usual, the new version is pushed through the store, and in case you don't see it, launch the store and go into the Downloads and Updates section to manually check for updates. Some other apps have been updated today as well, and this could be a sign that we're getting closer to the public unveiling of Windows 10 Mobile for users of Windows Phone devices expecting the upgrade currently available exclusively for insiders and new Lumia models.
