With Windows 10 for phones, Microsoft has introduced the ability to interact with notifications from wherever you are on the operating system. What this means is that you can answer a text without leaving the current app you are in, and it’s so awesome.
This new ability is called Actionable Notifications, and is something I personally love. iOS 8 has had this feature for a while now, and it’s great to finally see Windows 10 for phones include such functionality too.
It works like this. Say I’m in the News app and I get a text from a friend, instead of tapping on the notification and being taken out of my current app and into a the Messaging app, I can simply pull down on the notification and answer the text straight away, without the need to exit my current app.
