News & Reviews:   Microsoft 365

Looks like Microsoft users are in for an upset. Recently, Microsoft raised its subscription price for Microsoft 365. So, what should you know about it?

Hot on the heels of Google’s generative AI for Workspaces, is Microsoft’s take on it, which they have called Microsoft 365 Copilot. Designed to parse through your OneDrive (where Microsoft expects you to put all your personal images and details too) Copilot can automatically create and summarize emails, presentations, spreadsheets and documents throughout Microsoft’s Office 365 suite, Outlook and more.

Microsoft is reportedly working on a ‘super app’ that can dethrone both Google and Apple in the mobile search space. An all-in-one app that combines messaging, web search, shopping, news feeds and more, the concept is similar to how dominant WeChat is in China.

Microsoft is reportedly putting more ads in its Outlook mobile app for both iOS and Android, something that free users of the platform have been enduring for the past few months. Previously, the company only put ads in the ‘Other’ tab within the app for free users but now, it’s popping up in the single-inbox mode too.

Microsoft has yesterday released a new cybersecurity app across Windows, macOS, iOS and Android using the ‘Defender’ moniker that should be familiar to Windows users. Available for Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscribers, the features of the app will vary by the platform in which it is installed.
