14 DAY TRIAL // Bing for mobile phones has been updated numerous times. The last update for Bing Mobile targeted the app's homepage on Android and iOS platforms.
More recently, Microsoft announced that Bing News for mobiles has been updated once again to offer a much smoother browsing experience. With the latest version of the application, users will be able to discover, watch and browse news much easier while on the move.
The first things users will notice is that everything they need to know on a hot topic is now displayed at a glance. On the Bing homepage, Microsoft placed all the topics and news that are trending on the web.
“Here, clicking on “1st public appearance” from the Bing homepage opens up a rich experience with top news on the topic, anchored by a large picture from the most relevant news article, along with top article headlines on the topic. Searching for other hot topics from the Bing search bar will also open this experience,” explains Microsoft in a blog post.
Lots of tweaks and improvements have been implemented in the update
Clicking on the image in the center will immediately open an interactive gallery, which tells the story of the topic via images from news articles, and you can also swipe left and right for more images.
But that's not all, as Microsoft confirmed that users can now expand the view, which provides them with more article links as well as News Opinions, a snippet of an editorial on the topic.
Furthermore, Bing News users will now be able to watch new clips directly from the Bing results page. This means that when you search for a trending news story on your mobile phone, Bing will provide you with an option to watch a relevant news clip from a top source.
