Microsoft’s Cortana is second to none when it comes to answering queries or performing tasks like setting a reminder, track your important flights, and incoming packages, check out traffic and more. If Siri no longer appeals to you, set up and use Cortana on your iPhone and iPad! And believe me, you will find the virtual assistant always up and ready to get your work done.
Microsoft’s personal assistant is very smart in answering contextual questions. Moreover, it offers answers, which are personalized to your interest.
Note:
After March 31, 2021, the Cortana iOS app will no longer be supported.
