Microsoft’s Windows 10 Mobile Operating system is not receiving any major changes with the company’s Windows 10 Creators Update. However, Microsoft still has some features on roadmap for the mobile operating system. Microsoft has recently announced that the company will begin rolling out the Creators Update to Windows 10 PCs and Tablets on April 11. Furthermore, the company will soon begin the roll out of preview builds for Windows 10 Mobile from the Redstone 3 branch.

Microsoft has no plan to give up on Mobile business. The company has some serious plans for Windows 10 Mobile with the Redstone 3 update. A week ago, we spotted a new job hiring from Microsoft for its Windows Mobile team. Now the company is hiring Principle SW Engineering Lead to bring the support of two important features on Windows Phone.

Microsoft is still planning to bring support for 3D scanning and augmented reality on mobile devices and the new job listing has confirmed the earlier reports. Windows 10 Creators Update will introduce the 3D scan app for PCs but Windows 10 Mobile users may need to wait longer.

The exciting features are indeed coming to Windows 10 Mobile with the Redstone 3 update. Microsoft is expected to release Windows 10 Redstone 3 update to PCs, Tablets and Mobiles later this year.

  • I'm a happy windows phone user and glad to hear that Microsoft is not giving up yet. however, I wish they'd deal with the lack of windows apps. my bank, credit card company, cable provider, etc., etc., do not offer a windows app and don't plan to. is it feasible for them to pick one, android or IOS, and allow the apps to run on a windows phone?
