14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has recently confirmed that it’s working on chat bubbles for Android and iPhone in Microsoft Teams, a feature that has previously debuted on the desktop as well.
While this feature may not seem much at first, it actually comes in very handy to Microsoft Teams users who want to keep track on incoming messages when in a call.
Given it’s specifically aimed at mobile devices, this feature obviously makes it easier to read the messages without leaving the call screen.
Microsoft hasn’t revealed when exactly it wants to launch chat bubbles for iPhone and Android, but as Neowin observed, the company confirmed on the Microsoft 365 roadmap page that it’s already working on this update.
Microsoft Teams now in the Microsoft Store
On a similar front, Microsoft has recently launched the Microsoft Teams app in the Microsoft Store, therefore making it easier for Windows users to keep the app updated to the latest version.
“The Microsoft Store has nearly everything you could want for your Windows device, including the latest games, popular movies and TV shows, creative software, and apps. It is now one of the most used apps on PCs, and customers tell us they love the convenience and reassurance the Microsoft Store provides compared to the risks of installing apps from the web. The Microsoft Store is now faster to open and navigate between pages than ever before as well. Additionally, the redesigned library will help you keep track of your installed apps and updates,” Microsoft explained.
However, worth knowing is that Windows 11 users can only install Microsoft Teams from the Microsoft Store for work and school accounts. Personal accounts are only available for Windows 10 users who download the Microsoft Teams app from the Microsoft Store.
