Windows 10 First Anniversary Update Cortana or Worldwide

Computer store news: Windows 10 digital assistant Cortana has already landed in 13 countries and regions around the world, and will open more countries in the future. However, there is a positional limitation or a delay, so Microsoft may make Xiaona more flexible in handling location issues in the future, and strive to be used in any country or region.

At present, Cortana is constrained by two factors on regional issues. First, the number of countries available is very limited (China, the United States, Japan, Canada, Brazil, Australia, India, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain), although this is basically a world power and a strong country, but there are still many people in the country can not use. Second, Xiaona is subject to the positioning service. If this service is not opened, Cortana still has no way to run. According to sources at the Reddit Forum, the Windows 10 first anniversary update is expected to change this limit, at least one of which will be removed. From the current latest Windows 10 mobile version of the first anniversary update preview 14322, Xiaona is still able to work after closing the location service. Although this may be a bug in this version, many users are welcome to this "being awkward" because it can save more power and does not affect Xiaona's service. If Microsoft releases the national restrictions, perhaps the location-related services are not effective in some "general countries", but Xiaona can still be used as a voice assistant, and it is also a good use to help users to find information. In fact, the above two restrictions are the same in Cortana's non-available countries, and the effect is the same. After the location service is closed in the available countries, it means that the user's local information reference service cannot be provided. In this way, as long as the positioning is closed, there is no difference in the effect of continuing to use Cortana, so these restrictions are not useful for users who do not need location services, so if you really open these restrictions in the future, Xiaona may Speed ​​up the popularity and let more users experience the convenience of voice assistants.
