November Update
This is the monthly update for the Launcher following November's version 5.10.
With version 5.10, Microsoft Launcher provides more customization over Theme settings. Four options are included, Light, Dark, System, and Transparent. For this feature to work, users will have to be running Android 9 or newer.
Looking at the dark theme, Microsoft has made improvements with this update. Users will now find it easier to read content when there is not much light in the real-world conditions.
Microsoft has increasingly thrown new features at the launcher. It is now one of the most popular launchers available on Android.
