You can Now Use Cortana On Android and iOS — Microsoft Corporation

Microsoft has this week released its digital assistant Cortana for iOS and Android devices. Cortana is a natural way for users to interact with their PCs. Cortana keeps a sort of diary on all of users' preferences, from their favorite sports team and food to how to get to their workplace.

If you are a new user, you can sign up on your desktop app with your mobile number.

Are you planning on downloading Cortana for iOS and Android? Additionally, developer restrictions also made it more hard for Microsoft to enable more features on the Android and iOS.

Microsoft makes it clear that the desktop app works like its apps on other platforms.

For instance, Android phone users can use their Windows 10 PCs to view incoming calls.

Both of the new versions of Cortana track flights and packages, just like Cortana on Windows 10 too.

As of this writing, Cortana can be downloaded for free on the Apple App Store and . "While the Cortana app is fully-featured, there are some things Cortana can do on Windows phones that aren't now possible with iOS or Android", Ash stated. If you've used Siri or Google Now in the past, or any of the aforementioned beta releases, this version of Cortana shouldn't be too different.

While Cortana will function nearly the same way as it does on Windows Phone some of the features are restricted on alternative platforms. Cyanogen devices will have some more features of Cortana. Windows 10 mainly focuses on right the wrongs from Windows 10.

There are some differences in capabilities due to the API availability of the respective platforms.

"We worked to upgrade the Windows 8 app to support the best of Windows 10 while also imagining the tablet and PC experiences, so that users could initiate rides from all devices", said Uber's Zhu.

Android and iOS users can now utilize basic Cortana uses. Cortana may mimic the functionality provided by Siri on iPhone and Google Now on Android handsets, but there are some limits.

On its phones, Microsoft is already in the process of developing on-tap service for Cortana. If his reports are accurate, Cortana's role in Windows will change massively. The company is in collaboration with Cyanogen, an Android ROM vendor, earlier this year.
