Overview of Microsoft Launcher for Android

Microsoft Launcher gives Android users a highly adaptable home screen that prioritizes organization and productivity. It surfaces relevant information—like calendar events and task lists—so you can get to what matters quickly. The launcher can either replace your current home screen or adopt layouts you already use, and it includes an option to revert to your prior launcher if you change your mind.

Productivity and Quick Access Features

  • Option to return to your previous home screen if you prefer the old setup.
  • Import existing layouts or start fresh with a clean configuration.
  • A personalized feed that consolidates calendar entries, to-dos, and other important items for fast access.

Setup, Customization, and Control

  • Easy transition tools for users switching to the launcher from another home screen.
  • Flexible customization choices to tailor icons, widgets, and layout behavior.
  • Simple backup and restore support so you can save or migrate your configuration.
