Microsoft Launcher
Microsoft Launcher (formerly known as Arrow Launcher) is an application launcher for the Android mobile platform developed by Microsoft as a lightweight, fast, and efficient simplification of the Android user experience.[3] Originally available as a beta in October 2015[4] and published to the Google Play Store on October 5, 2017,[5] its purpose is to supply a user-centric basis for
Windows and Office-themed applications via a Microsoft account.[6]
The application has a customizable feed which displays relevant and personalized information for the user, such as a news feed, to-do lists, calendar events, recent activity, and more.[7] Swiping up from the bottom of the screen reveals application shortcuts, and the application tray includes a search bar and recently installed apps at the top.[8] Design elements are highly personalizable with a
wide range of options, such as having the Bing daily wallpaper as a background image on the lock screen and/or home screen.[9]
The launcher integrates with Microsoft's other Android applications by enabling features such as "Continue on PC", which allows a user to work seamlessly between their phone and a Windows PC.[10] For example, they are able to open a web page in Edge and then open exactly the same page on their PC, not unlike Apple's Handoff feature.[11]
In December 2017, it was reported that Microsoft Launcher had reached 10 million downloads from Google Play.[12]
