We have already heard about a number of new features that will be included in the Windows Phone 7 Mango update, and have also seen a number of different photos. Now, we have some more screenshots to share with you.
These new screenshots give us a look at a range of new features coming to Windows Phone 7 in the Mango update, which include the messenger service that will be expanded to add support for Windows Live Messenger and also Facebook.
Enhanced Messaging and Social Integration
One of the most anticipated features in the Mango update is the enhanced messaging service. This update will integrate Windows Live Messenger and Facebook chat directly into the messaging hub. This means users will no longer need to switch between different apps to communicate with their friends and family. Instead, they can enjoy a seamless experience where all their conversations are in one place. This integration is expected to make it easier for users to stay connected and manage their social interactions more efficiently.
Additionally, the Mango update will bring threaded conversations, allowing users to see their text messages, Facebook chats, and Windows Live Messenger conversations in a single thread. This feature will help users keep track of their conversations without getting lost in multiple chat windows.
Improved Multitasking and App Performance
Another significant improvement in the Mango update is the enhanced multitasking capabilities. Users will be able to switch between apps more smoothly and efficiently, thanks to the new app-switching interface. This interface will display a visual representation of the open apps, making it easier for users to navigate between them.
Moreover, the Mango update will introduce faster app resume times, ensuring that users can quickly return to their tasks without experiencing delays. This improvement is particularly beneficial for users who rely on multiple apps for their daily activities, as it will enhance their overall productivity.
The update will also bring improvements to the app marketplace, making it easier for users to discover and download new apps. The marketplace will feature a more intuitive layout and better search functionality, helping users find the apps they need more quickly.
We will get a full look at everything that is coming in the Windows Phone 7 Mango update next week as Microsoft will be previewing it on the 24th of May.
