Microsoft's "Windows everywhere" is moving ahead full steam as the company has made it easier to use Cortana on Google Android phones.
The latest version of the personal assistant software adds a way to
make Cortana a default application when swiping up from the Home button on an Android phone or tablet, reports Microsoft-News.
That's new compared to the initial beta of Cortana for Android, which
launched on a limited basis last month. With the older version, opening Cortana is similar to opening any app on Android: Finding the shortcut on your device and giving it a tap.
With version 1.0.0.204 of Cortana for Android, Microsoft offers a more integrated experience to get help from the cloud-based personal assistant, making it more like Google Now, the comparable Android product.
