The Windows Timeline combines browsing history from both Android and PC’s Edge browser. With the Microsoft Launcher v5.0, the company is bringing it over to the mobile platform as well. So far, the functionality was limited to Windows 10. One can the past dates and jump to an activity directly from the Timeline section. The idea is to keep a history of browsing sessions and the activities of the Office apps stored in the Timeline tab. Microsoft introduced Timeline support with the Windows 10 April 2018 update.

One of the biggest hurdles with Glance UI was the News integration in it and the News tab kept getting refreshed frequently. When you swipe left, the launcher treats you with a three-tabbed UI separated in Windows Timeline, News, and Glance. With the newer update, things got changed with the introduction of Windows Timeline (more on that later), Newsfeed, and a revamped Glance UI. Practically, it offered negligible advantage over the implementation done by other OEMs. In this post, we will guide you through the new additions with the v5.0/v5.1 update.ĭownload Microsoft Launcher A Completely Overhauled Feed UIīefore v5.0 update, Microsoft Launcher offered an average functioning Glance feed with profile information, Outlook calendar, Documents tab, News tab, and my people add-ons.
