Hi Microsoft Launcher users!
Today we're releasing a Microsoft Launcher "Preview" to the Google Play Store. You can call it an "alpha" version if you will. This version is a Microsoft Launcher that's built on an improved codebase and has several new features that we're looking at bringing to market (plus perf benefits!). Some of these features (like landscape mode) are very core to the Launcher experience so we're looking to get early feedback from brave fans that are OK with installing a potentially unstable version on their phones. You can file bugs through the app itself or you can share here!
MICROSOFT LAUNCHER PREVIEW FEATURES
Give your phone a new look
• Personalize your apps with custom icon packs, and use adaptive icons to give your phone a consistent look and feel.
• Enjoy Bing daily images as your wallpaper, or use your own photos.
Dark Theme
• Microsoft Launcher supports Dark theme for your viewing pleasure. Select dark theme for comfort of use at night or in low light environments. This feature is compatible with Android phone’s dark mode settings.
Landscape mode
• Microsoft Launcher now supports vertical and horizontal orientations to enhance your viewing preference.
