Officially Microsoft Cortana Pubic Beta lands on Play Store

After a long time or early unofficial beta leaked in june, Microsoft has announced the public beta. Cortana is now available to all Android users - but now it's in selected regions (Currently not available in India). Cortana is available for download in the US via Google Play Store.

Cortana app for Android is very similar to its Windows Phone app. It comes with same user interface and functionalities. Microsoft announced in May that it would release Cortana on rival platforms Android and iOS.

Using Cortana take notes, add reminders, and ask it for weather and traffic updates. If you are using it on your computer (Windows 10), you can use Cortana for Android as a companion app. Once integrated, you will be able to see your notes, emails, and other things from computer synced right into your Android mobile device.

If you're any other non-US region, Cortana's public beta for Android is not officially available in your country. Microsoft has previously announced that it plans to extend support for Cortana to India by the end of this year. In the meantime, there's still a way to try Cortana on your device: sideload (manually install) it. You can grab the app from reliable third-party app store APKMirror.

Cortana for Android will hopefully leave public beta and see a final release in the coming weeks.
