Software giant Microsoft has officially confirmed the introduction of Cortana to iOS and Android and is also planning to release separate apps for each mobile operating system to enable its digital assistant to run outside of Windows.
According to the Verge, the Cortana companion will be available for Android in late June and iOS later this year.

Microsoft's phone companion will help Windows 10 PC owners find relevant apps on their Android, Windows, or iOS phones to make use of OneNote, OneDrive, and many other apps and services.
