Most of the demonstration of this new OS focused on enhancing the built-in apps and features of Windows Phone and fixing a lot of the oddities, including photos, mail, maps, messaging and Skype. Among all the improvements, mail is the biggest improvement to the built-in applications.
Across Windows 10 phones, PCs and tablets, the company is developing a universal outlook app that seems to be a lot better than earlier app that came with Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.1. Further, Word is developed into the Outlook application, enabling users to author emails in a much richer way than before.

However, it is completely good change and an excellent way to avoid any confusion over which camera application to use.
Moving ahead, Maps are also getting improvements that we were expecting in Windows 10 for phones. Presently, users can find HERE maps or Bing Maps and it is a confusing mix of map apps for phones. The company is moving ahead to a single Maps app in Windows 10 for phones that comes with turn-by-turn directions and Cortana integration.
It is completely powered by Nokia’s HERE maps, but it is fully made by Microsoft company. This Map application will guide you completely if you ask for any destination no matter whether it is far away or just walking distance.

However, a new feature has been included that known as Continuum. It is especially designed for convertible devices, switching about instantly from a mouse and keyboard to a tablet screen.
