Windows Phone 8.1 gets notification center, personal assistant and on-screen buttons

The launch of the new version of the platform, the 8.1, is scheduled for April, but rumors have already started to appear. The first one is about creating a personal assistant. According to the sources, the function of Cortana, as it will be called, will be similar to Siri (iOS) and Google Now (Android), that is, to make the user's life easier by bringing relevant information in real time.

Furthermore, the Windows Phone 8.1 will also have a notification center, which already exists on devices with Android and iPhones. Another novelty is the change from capacitive buttons to the screen (see image above), as was done in Android recently.

None of this has yet been confirmed by the ecosystem, so we need to wait until the new system is released. O showmetech is following the news and will publish as soon as they become available.
