Cortana app for Android recently got updated in Play Store with few new improvements. Microsoft is bringing back'Hey Cortana' and you now have easier access to the voice button. Microsoft has released an update for Outlook Groups on Windows Phone. Unlike the last update, which was a major one, this one only adds bug fixes and performance improvements. Microsoft has just made it slightly easier for users to buy a new Surface device.

Good news for Microsoft Band 2 owners who pair their wearable with an Android device: you're now getting one of the last big features that, until now, has been exclusive to Windows Phone. Microsoft has updated its Health app, in turn enabling Cortana on the Band 2 and allowing users to issue voice commands. This update makes the Band 2 work with Android in just about every single way it does with Microsoft's own Windows Phone platform. With Cortana on the Band 2, users can interact with the voice assistant without needing to touch their phone, getting notifications for messages and calendar events. All users need to do is speak into the wearable's mic.

After updating your Health app, you'll be able bark voice commands on the Band's mic without having to touch your phone and get instant notifications. According to The Digital Lifestyle, though, you have to be in the US (due to the app's limited availability) and have Cortana for Android installed on your phone to be able to use the feature. You can read the application's change log on Google Play, which also lists the ability to create challenges for everyone in your friends' circle who has the wearable.
