Users of Windows 10 will be able to see notifications that come to their Android smartphones. About this Microsoft announced at the Build conference 2016.
Receive notifications from apps, missed calls, text messages in the notification center of Windows 10 will be possible after installing the gadget on the Cortana app. Voice assistant will store all the received notifications in the cloud, sending them to the associated devices on Windows 10. There will be other opportunities in addition to viewing notifications; for example, they can be answered with computers or to reject them, then they will not show up on all other devices.
Of course, this same functionality will be supported in smartphones on Windows 10 Mobile, but in the Cortana app on the iOS platform. According to Microsoft, this is due to limitations in iOS. Apple does not give third-party developers access to the system at a low level, so Microsoft lacks the capability to implement that functionality.
It is worth noting that a similar function works on Apple devices out of the box. When the iPhone, iPod touch or iPad is near your Mac, Handoff allows the technology to begin work on one Apple device and finish on another, you can receive and make calls from iPad or Mac. Syncing with OS X is performed in fully automatic mode.
Microsoft did not specify exactly when appears notification support with mobile devices in Windows 10, restricting only the phrase “future version of Windows”. Most likely, we are talking about the Anniversary update Update. You will also need to wait for a new version of Cortana for mobile devices.
The anniver-Microsoft OS update scheduled for June of this year. The owners of Windows 10 will be able to set it free.
