Microsoft rolls out new Windows 10 Mobile build to Windows Insiders
Microsoft started rolling out the latest Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Build 10536 to Windows Insiders on the Fast ring. The latest Build 10536 will include the Insider hub app and additional language support for Japanese and English speech recognition.
“I am happy to say this build has progressed through all our internal rings and now is ready for Windows Insiders,” wrote Gabriel Aul, Vice President of the Engineering Systems for the Windows and Devices Group, in a blog post.
Just about a month back, Microsoft rolled out Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview build 10512. Users need to run two updates to complete the process: Build 10514 and Build 10536.1000, confirmed Aul for those that will be updating from Build 10512. They will then be notified about another update for Build 10536.1004 containing all important fixes. Microsoft said the process will be more time consuming than usual updates.
The improvements expected with Build 10536 are worth mentioning. The Photos app will be updated with folder views where users can see PC and OneDrive folders. This update will also ensure faster photo viewing with newly introduced zooming and panning. It will also bring in one-handed mode on all phones by simply pressing and holding down the start button.
Other important improvements include the re-introduction of the Insider Hub app after it was removed from Windows 10 last June. Some noteworthy fixes include two-factor authentication, mobile hotspot, delayed display of date and time on lock screen and Do Not Disturb (DND) functionality.
The voice input update will provide support for Japanese and English speech recognition. Additionally, zoom-in Maps will work with the new update. It will also bring in single hop updates from Windows Phone 8.1 to Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview for all devices, said Microsoft.
Fast ring members can avail of the update now. Those on the slow ring have to wait to grab the newest build until Microsoft deploy it further, reports Neowin.
