‘Microsoft employee’ leaks Windows Phone 8.2 features
A Reddit user claiming to be a long-time Microsoft employee has leaked features of the Windows Phone 8.2 update, which is currently under development.
NEW DELHI: Microsoft has just made Windows Phone 8.1 official, but another major update seems to be around the corner.
A Reddit user claiming to be a long-time Microsoft employee has leaked features of the Windows Phone 8.2 update, which is currently under development. According to the Reddit thread, which has now been deleted, the alleged employee is part of Microsoft's core operating systems group and works on Windows Phone, Windows, Xbox One, Windows Server and "new stuff."
Among the new features that the WP8.2 update will bring to the table is support for video calling services other than Skype.
WP8.2 will have a feature that will allow close friends and family of a user (part of the Inner Circle) to send text messages even if the handset's Do Not Disturb mode is turned on. Important contacts will be able to get a call through in this mode if they call three times.
Users will be able to change the default messaging app once Windows Phone 8.2 arrives. Facebook, which is part of the Messaging hub at present, will be removed from the app as a default option. The anonymous Microsoft employee also revealed that Facebook is working on an app for Windows Phone.
Microsoft also has an "interesting plan" to bridge the gap between Google Search and Bing, but there were not many details about this. Xbox One will get background tasks and music in the next six months, the source said.
As per the thread, Windows Phone 8.2 update will be announced in the next 8-10 months. Microsoft will now bring new updates every 6-8 months, while major updates will be announced after every one or two years.
