Sounds amazing. Definitely could see myself using this feature. Always working in something at work and need to rush home. Sounds like a great way to continue at home where i left off at work rather than staying at the office.

Fluent design system on Windows 10 mobile UWP apps (People have noted they visually differ slightly from desktop: indeed groove looks nothing like this on my desktop CU, and Films & TV doesn't have any FDS for me):

In case people don't click:

"Microsoft’s Joe Belfiore: Windows Phone Is Not Dead"

Speaking to BI in an interview, Belfiore briefly discussed the future of Windows phones, and although no specifics were provided, he denied reports claiming that Windows Phone as a platform is dead.
“We’re going to continue to support Windows Phone,” he said, explaining that all the focus on Android and iOS is only happening because its customers are using more devices powered by various operating systems. As a result, it’s essential for the company to make it possible to connect to all services no matter the platform.

Honestly I d know why its nessasary to even say this other than people with wives tales, hyperbole and nashing of teeth.

What would the haters do if people started believing that Windows Mobile wasn't dead?

Whine about something else. Either that or their heads would explode...

I can't take a picture of my GroupMe group due to privacy but GroupMe updated on iOS and Windows phone (and probably Android as well) today to add poll support! You can create polls and participate in them too.

The same reason we had to discuss Linux on servers in the early/mid 2000s. FUD was rampant.

Hoping they soon have dark theme support for Windows as well. Didn't know about the poll support. Might have to put that to use.

If you open the link, the very first line of the article...

The official Instagram app has just updated on Windows 10 Mobile and Windows 10 devices and while this update didn’t introduce the newly launched video filters which can now be found on the iOS and Android apps, it did improve the app in some other areas.

That's great news. This is truly a great youtube app. It would be nice if there was an option to automatically go to fullscreen when you turn the phone to landscape, but I did just discover on accident that you can double tap the video and it goes to fullscreen. I don't know if that is new or not, but I just discovered it.

Just found whilst looking in the Windows Store - the Go series, used to be win32s on the PC platform. Then they went to the store via the centennial bridge (pc only), which is how they were the last time I looked. NOW, they are full UWP, and fully ported.

IDK how new this is as far as news goes, But Lara Croft GO, Deus Ex Go and Hitman Go are all now available for windows 10 mobile.
