A year after the Outlook Web App (OWA) application was released for iOS, Steve Chew, Microsoft’s senior product marketing manager, announced earlier this week that the app will soon be available for Android users as well but it will come with the latest Exchange features.
“We know that nearly half of emails are now first seen on the phone. So it’s clear that phone is becoming the primary screen for communications… On iPhone and iPad, we released the OWA app last year. And today we announced that we will be releasing the OWA app for Android as our latest step in that journey,” the company wrote on its blog.
One of the notable features of the OWA app is the codenamed “Clutter” feature which will automatically remove all the unimportant items from the user’s mail leaving his/her inbox filled with the important ones. The removed items will be placed in the “CLUTTER” view located in the footer.
“For example, if you completely ignored Juan’s email about his recent vacation pictures, that message was likely unimportant to you – ie, clutter. On the other hand, if you both read and responded to Cathy’s email about her new budget proposal, that message was likely important to you – ie, not clutter,” Microsoft said.
The app also allows access to a company’s calendars, internal mails, documents and more.
