Microsoft has released an updated version of the Cortana app (version 3.0) on iOS, and it now includes a slew of new features and an overhauled design.
Conversational Experience, Finally!
Conversational experience, in case you don’t know, lets you build a conversation based on the query you raised before. For instance, if you ask, “Will it rain today?” and Cortana said, “No”, you can directly ask her about the next day without having to give more context. In fact, you don’t even have to say the word rain again, you can simply ask, “What about tomorrow?”, and she’ll automatically pick up that you’re asking about the weather.
As you might have noticed there are three buttons at the bottom of the app. The one on the right takes you to a page where you can manage all the devices. This particular feature will come handy when, say, you want to connect to devices like the Surface Headphones, Thermostat, etc.
Lastly, there a Discover section to introduce you to the voice commands you could use with Cortana. There’s nothing new to be explored here, but you might want to keep an eye on this section to discover new Cortana skills.
