Cortana for iOS and Android comes to the UK with a refreshed look

If you’re living in the United Kingdom, and are a fan of using Cortana, then there will be some exciting times ahead of you. Microsoft has announced that the Cortana app for iOS and Android will be coming to the UK, extending the functionality of Cortana on Windows 10 to the smartphones already in your pocket.

The availability in the UK means you can now use the streamlined and optimized Cortana app on your iOS and Android device to create reminders that travel with you, and get missed call alerts. Of course, Microsoft also mentions that you can also use the app to quickly look up information, and on Android,  invoke Cortana hands-free inside the app with “Hey Cortana.”

The Cortana app on iOS and Android has also been improved, and now has a more simplified look and feel. For instance, thanks to quick actions which put the most frequent things you do front and center, you can now get to what you ned to faster, and easier. Additionally, thanks to full page answers, you can also get more natural and consumable information.

If you’re not already using Cortana on your iOS or Android device, we have done you a favor and have included the download links for you below. The improved Cortana Android app is available today on Google Play Store, and the iOS app will get these updates in the coming weeks. Are you excited to see these changes to Cortana?
