This doesn't function like other operating systems, including Windows 8, which lets users change the imagery that sits behind the icons. In regards to cosmetics, Microsoft has added the option to choose a background photo for the phone's home screen.
Microsoft's smartphone keyboard was good to begin with, and this just makes it better. Dubbed Word Flow, the new input method works just like Swype, letting users drag their finger across a series of letters to create a complete word. Another feature that we've seen on Android that has made its way to Windows Phone is a swipe-enabled keyboard. If you need to get to more settings, the standard menu can also be accessed from the pull-down shade. Notifications can either be swiped away or tapped to access, and toggling Wi-Fi or airplane mode is now as simple as tapping one of the pre-set icons. Like with Android and iOS, Windows Phone users will be able to drag their finger down from the top of the screen to reveal notifications and quick settings. The most useful addition to the operating system-and one you'll likely take advantage of on a regular basis-is the new Action Center. But these issues have been completely erradicated with Windows Phone 8.1. Even then, you couldn't interact with the notification in any meaningful way. In order to make them work in any decent manner, you would have to make sure the app is pinned to the home screen and adjust the size of the tile to show the desired information. Live Tiles, while attractive on the home screen, are extremely limited in terms of functionality. By far, my biggest gripe about Windows Phone, up until this point, has been its bare-bones notification system. Not only does the latest update deliver some significant additions, but it also gets rid of some problems that have been holding back the operating system from achieving parity with its more established competitors. Instead, it introduces a few high-demand features and other smaller upgrades that bring it more in line with Android and iOS. But don't be mistaken, Windows Phone 8.1 isn't a complete re-working of the operating system.
