Cortana update brings Android notifications to Windows 10 users

The ability to view notifications for multiple devices in one place is something that has been tried in various forms before. Now fans of Cortana can take advantage of notifications about their phone on their computer.

The latest version of the Cortana Android app brings the previously hinted at app notification syncing that users have been asking for for so long. First noted by a Windows 10 user on Reddit, the feature is something that we can expect to see included in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update later this summer.

The Reddit thread reveals that version 1.7.0.1021-enus-release of Cortana for Android brings the arrival of Android notifications on Windows. Some users are pointing out that they are not able to download this version of the app from Google Play -- it appears to be country-dependant -- but the required APK is freely available on APKmirror.

The new syncing feature means that you can see notifications about the calls you missed on your phone within Windows 10. The same goes for messages received through apps, and you will even be able to respond to messages without having to switch devices.
