There have been many new things that have been happening in the world of technology ever since Microsoft announced their Windows 10.
The Windows 10 has been creating ripples in the world of tech and almost every other day new announcements have been coming out, but what has come out recently has been one of the biggest announcements in the recent times.
In an announcement that literally shook the ground and stunned many people, Microsoft has now declared that they are going to release Cortana not just for the Windows OS, but also for the iOS and Android as well!
In an incredible announcement they said that the popular voice assistant which is getting a much awaited revamp and re-release for Windows 10, is also going to be made available on the iOS and Android OS.
Microsoft has dared to challenge the top names in the world of smartphones in their own backyard by now making the Cortana SDK open for iOS and Android.
Cortana for iOS and Android would do pretty much the same things as that for Windows, i.e., it will answer your questions, schedule appointments, provide reminders, and more.
The following is what was officially announced by Microsoft on their blog:
"When you upgrade your PC for free to Windows 10 this summer, your experience will include Cortana. Those of you familiar with benefits of the deep integration of Cortana on Windows phone can expect to see the same integration on your Windows 10 PC.
Cortana will be able to help you get lots of things done, from searching for things on the web or your device to setting reminders, dictating email, or toggling device settings. Cortana is also integrated into our new web browser for Windows 10 – Microsoft Edge.
Part of the power of a personal assistant comes from being available on the go, on the device you carry with you everywhere. And for people who don't have the benefit of a Windows phone, we want to extend the advantage of Cortana in Windows 10. How will this work? 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 '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."
