Microsoft has added a no. of new improvements in Windows 10 Mobile build: 14322 for Windows Insiders to test out before the final version release to a vast collection of public users. As per their changes log, here's the list of the improvements that you can see in this build:

  • Visual changes to Action Center - Individual app notifications in Action Center no longer show the app icon repeated for each notification. It will only be seen in the header that groups together all the notifications specific for that app.

  • Visual changes to Notifications - Action Center is becoming richer with support for notifications with more flexible layouts similar to the richness of Live Tiles. Notifications with images will now display larger than they did previously.

  • Cortana notifications in Action Center - Microsoft has added new insights from Cortana to ensure you are not missing anything important.

  • Notification prioritization in Action Center - Like Windows 10 insiders build 14316 for PC, Microsoft has also added notification prioritization in Action Center for Windows 10 Mobile. Now you can prioritize which app notifications are more important to you. You can prioritize its notifications to be in one of 3 levels: Normal, High or Top. You can also adjust how many notifications are visible per app. The default is now 3 per app.

  • Customize your Quick Actions in Action Center - You can now add, remove and re-arrange the Quick Actions that show up in Action Center. To customize your Quick Actions, just go to the Settings > System > Notifications & actions.

  • More ways to create Cortana Reminders - It's now easier and quicker to set a reminder in Cortana with 2 new exciting ways. You can now create a Photo Reminder and can set reminders on content from UWP apps that utilize the share contract in Windows. You can also share an article from the News app to Cortana and have her remind you to read it later.

  • Icons for individual settings pages - All pages in the Settings app now have individual icons associated with them. These individual icons will also be shown when you pin a settings page to Start.

  • Navigation bar settings page and vibration setting - You can now use the new Navigation bar settings page to configure preferences for vibration and double tap the navigation bar to turn off the screen.

  • Glance screen settings have moved - Microsoft has moved the page out of the Extras section in the Settings app. These settings can now be found via Settings > Personalization > Glance screen.

  • Updated Battery Settings and Battery Saving Experience - Like the latest PC build, there is now a single entry point for all battery related settings in the Settings app.

  • Updated Windows Update Settings - You can now set the time in which you are most active on your phone. Windows Update will avoid automatically installing updates during your active hours on your device. This is similar to what we have in the latest PC build.

  • Updated emoji - A new set of emoji's has been added in this build. As part of this work, the emoji section of the keyboard has been slightly reorganized to better align with the newly available emoji.

  • Better copy/paste in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft made a couple of improvements to copy and paste on the phone. When you are typing into an edit box on a web page, you will now be able to use the paste button above the keyboard.

  • Better tab behaviour in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Edge keeps your tabs under control when you use it with apps on your phone. If you tap on a link in an app that opens a new tab in Microsoft Edge, pressing the back button when you’re done will close that tab.

  • USB Ethernet Support with Continuum - Continuum capable phones now include support for most USB Ethernet adapters. If you connect a USB Ethernet adapter your Lumia 950 or Lumia 950 XL via the Microsoft Display Dock, you will have network connectivity through an attached Ethernet cable. Not all adapters are supported yet and you may see an error message the first time you connect.

  • Camera button on the Lock screen - When your phone is locked, the back button on the navigation bar is now replaced with a camera button. Press and hold this button to launch the Camera app from the Lock screen.

  • Media controls show on top of the Lock screen - Based on users feedback, Microsoft has added support to control the music you are listening to, right from the Lock screen. If you turn on your phone’s screen, the media controls will now be shown embedded right on top of the Lock screen.

  • Commenting in the Feedback Hub - You can now comment on feedback inside the Feedback Hub on your phone in addition to the responses from Microsoft's engineering team.

  • Messaging Everywhere Preview Coming Soon - Microsoft will soon enable a preview of the “Messaging everywhere” feature in Windows 10 that allows you to send and receive text messages from your phone directly from your Windows 10 PC.

 

What are the new fixes available in this build?

Here’s the list of fixes in this build, as shared by Microsoft:
