From the screenshot, the biggest and most important new feature is the notification center, which is similar to the notification center of IOS and Android systems, and seems to be accessible through dedicated live tiles. Previously, it was reported that Microsoft did not complete the development of Windows Phone notification center due to time.
Some also hope that Microsoft will add gesture access when it launches the Windows Phone update. In addition, the calendar interface has also been redesigned, with weekly view added, allowing users to view weekly information while arranging their own itinerary. The new version of Windows Phone also allows users to close applications directly through the multi task menu.
