Cortana Comes to Android and iOS

In order to cater to its Android and iOS fans, Microsoft has decided to roll out its very own artificial

intelligence virtual assistance, Cortana, for both the Android and iOS platform. Recent reports have

confirmed that Cortana is going to be added to the mix of services for Android and iOS devices, which is

great news for users of both of these operating systems, although they won’t get to enjoy certain

features such as launching apps, etc.

For many technology analysts, the recent move by Microsoft came as no surprise, since the company

has embarked on its journey under the leadership of its new CEO Satya Nadella. In recent months,

Microsoft has been busy trying to make its mobile applications available on operating systems besides

its own. This also includes the new Windows 10 platform which will soon be released and is already

boasting of working well across smartphones, tablets, PCs, and even gaming consoles.

According to the newest computer technology news, the release of the latest Cortana AI ties right into

the recently unveiled Phone Assistant app for the Windows 10 platform, which aims to make it easier to

sync both Android and iOS devices with desktop software. The company has been focusing on Cortana

which has been designed to take on the likes of Apple’s Siri and Google Now, which is also another

reason why the AI assistant has been has been added to the soon-to-be-released Windows 10 operating

system.

According to the latest technologies in computer, Microsoft’s AI Cortana on the Android and iOS

platforms will be able to recognize who the user is and also sync their notebooks across multiple

devices. The AI will also be able to display notifications on updates and reminders, and users will also get

to use Cortana’s search capabilities as well. Cortana is scheduled for launch on the Android platform in

June, which will be followed by an iOS launch later on this year. And while there has been no official

release date for the Windows 10 OS, some analysts are speculating that it will be released around July,

and will feature both Android and iOS compatibility.

In the end, it is not even clear why Android and iOS users would even bother about using Cortana since

both those operating systems already feature their own AI assistants. Apart from that, Google Now, and

Apple’s Siri are both easier to access and also offer a rich collection of services along with better

capabilities. This means that they would obviously be the more preferred option for users on those

respective devices. Keeping that in mind, many tech analysts have come out and said that the addition

of Cortana to iOS and Android powered devices just means one less reason to use a Windows powered

device.
