Cortana app for Android leaks ahead of launch

Cortana, Microsoft's virtual assistant for Android has leaked online. The APK file for the beta version of the Cortana app is available to download for Android devices running Android 4.4 KitKat and higher. The file size is 19MB.

For those who don't know, Cortana is a Virtual assistant, just like Siri (iPhone) and Google Now (Android) that aims to provide information to users as and when needed. For example reminding to pick up milk from grocery store, track a flight, looking up for answers.

Cortana stores information about users and performs several actions like search the web, set alarms, set reminders, tracking flight, weather, nearby places to eat, track route and many more.

Unfortunately, the leaked beta version of Cortana for Android doesn't include all the feature available on Windows Phone. One of them is 'Hey Cortana' option which activates the voice assistant. Some parts of the app are unfinished such as the ability to send message to contacts.

The official Cortana app will be released within the next few weeks. It will also be released on iOS.
