I would like to see Cortana on the left side of the Start Screen. Cortana is an amazing virtual assistant but having her on her own application ruins the experience, Cortana does not feel integrated within the OS. It would be a great idea if Cortana lived next to the Start Screen. Swiping to the right/ sliding to the left would slide the screen to Cortana. Having Cortana so easily accessible would improve how much users use Cortana.

The new Cortana would also display the Start Screen wallpaper blurred in the background. This would not only look sleek and nice but would unify Windows 10 Mobile.

This is a very quick mock up I did

Do anyone else think this would be a good idea? If yes, please vote here: https://windowsphone.uservoice.com/...re-integrated-cortana-cortana-on-the-start-sc

Could work for some, but I like the fact that I can move her around as much as I want. Keeping her as an application, was what MS was/is aiming for

Speaking of Cortana, on the start screen following the update to 10149 from 10130 Cortana disappeared from my start screen leaving a blank space where her wide tile was. She is not listed on the app list either so no way to repin. Anyone having similar issue?

She is now called "Search" in the app list.

Which, hopefully, they will change to Cortana later... When you do not have Cortana activated in the desktop it is called Search but when Cortana is activated it is called "Cortana."
