Beta channel for Android WebView open to Android 5.0 Lollipop devices

Older devices would be left behind, too, without updates and that means compromised security.

Actionable notifications are Toast alerts that a user can interact with instead of just dismissing. For instance, we already know that Skype and Messaging are merging in Windows 10 as an updatable app. When a message comes in from a user, you can respond inline to that message without having to launch the app. That app is not yet present in Windows 10 Technical Preview 2 for phones, but the new Alarms app is and we’ll show you how it works.
