Microsoft added its own Digital Health feature to its Android launcher app

Microsoft added its own digital health feature to its Android launcher app, just when Google added a similar feature to its Android Pie. Microsoft’s launcher will let any Android users have the ability to track how long apps are being used for. You can track screen time, app usage, and the number of times you’ve unlocked your phone. This app is supported on Android 4.2 and above, which opens a digital health feature access to all Android users.

The latest update of Microsoft Launcher 5.1 also includes To-Do and Sticky Notes integration, which will help you to synchronize your tasks and notes from these apps. Microsoft is also adding in “Hey Cortana” support to launch the digital assistant from this Android launcher.

Over the past few years, Microsoft has been reportedly updating its Android launcher consistently, helping the software giant embrace Android as the mobile version of Windows. Earlier this year, Microsoft added family-focused features and support for the Windows 10 Timeline feature that allows you to resume apps and sites across all devices. Microsoft Launcher 5.1 is available as a beta version from the Google Play Store and should be out to all users in a few weeks.
