The biggest new feature is the introduction of Beam notifications to the Xbox app on Android. As the name suggests, Beam notifications give users update when friends start streaming on Beam. Another attention grabbing new feature is allows Android users to view gamerscore leaderboards directly in the application. This certainly makes it more convenient that having to turn on an Xbox to see the leaderboards. Microsoft has also made it possible to share the gamerscore leaderboards with other users. Additionally, an achievement rarity ability makes it easier to track hard-to-get achievements. The full changelog for the Xbox app on Android is as follows:
Receive notifications when your friends are streaming on Beam Added gamerscore leaderboards Share the gamerscore leaderboard Identify hard-to-earn achievements with achievement rarity If you get several notifications when receiving a message, uninstalling and reinstalling the Xbox app should fix the problem.
