“Edge for mobile has number of features like Favourites, New Tab Page, Reading View and Continue to PC”
Microsoft’s Edge web browser has been exclusively available on Windows 10 operating system so far, but this has just changed. The company is now all set to bring the browser to Android and iOS platforms. Ahead of the full-fledged launch, the Redmond-based tech giant has released a preview version of Microsoft Edge for Android and iOS users. The company has started beta testing the mobile version of Edge for Windows Insiders to give it a try.
Microsoft Edge for Android and iOS offers a handful of useful features like Favourites, New Tab Page, Reading View and Reading List. The “Continue to PC” functionality is at the centre of Edge for these platforms. This feature lets you use Edge mobile to push web pages to a PC so you can pick up where you left off. You can also save web pages on Edge for mobile to open them anywhere later, including a PC.
On Microsoft Edge, passwords and favourites are synced across your devices, so your browser is always personalised. The Hub View feature allows you to easily find and manage content like favourites, reading lists, history and books all in one place. The Reading View feature lets you reorganise the content on a web page, so you can focus on what you’re reading. The browser lets you find, view and share content easily with a built-in QR Code Reader and more.
Microsoft is releasing Edge for iOS devices in Apple’s TestFlight program. For Android users, it will be available soon via Play Store’s early access. As of now, the browser only works with smartphones, but the brand will be adding support for tablets soon.
