Cortana is coming to Android and iOS devices, Microsoft’s Joe Belfiore announced.
[quote type=”border_left”]Today, we’re announcing a Cortana application for Android phones and for iPhones which works as a companion to Cortana on your Windows 10 PC, the corporate vice president operating systems group wrote. The ‘Phone Companion’ app on the PC will help you install the Cortana app from the Google Play or Apple App Store onto your phone so you’ll be able to take the intelligence of Cortana with you, wherever you go.[/quote]
The app will give access to things like OneDrive and pictures and is expected to launch in June for both iOS and Android.
Microsoft said that the Android and iOS versions will be limited.
[quote type=”border_left”]Some features require access to the system that aren’t currently possible with iOS or Android, so things like toggling settings or opening apps won’t initially be available in the Cortana companions for those platforms. Similarly, the ability to invoke Cortana hands-free by saying “Hey Cortana” requires special integration with the device’s microphone, so that feature will be limited to Windows Phones and PCs.[/quote]
