Microsoft Launcher 5.1 adds digital health features on Android

Microsoft is not budging from introducing new tools and features to fight Google's popular services. In its latest attempt at luring more people to use its products, the company has added a digital health tracker to its Android Launcher.

The Microsoft Launcher 5.1 beta release comes with a digital health section that tracks your total screen time, number of unlocks, and session lengths, Engadget reported.

In addition to that, there's also a "hey Cortana" voice control shortcut in the launcher. You can also sync both Sticky Notes and To-Do entries across devices. Interestingly, the digital health tracker is supported on devices running Android 4.2 and later, allowing even the old hardware owners do a check on their digital well-being.
