Microsoft's digital assistant Cortana was first unveiled with Windows Phones, and it was later introduced on Android and iOS. Microsoft had even offered Cortana in its Microsoft Launcher, but they decided to remove all the consumer-centric integrations after focusing instead on enterprise customers.
Due to this, Microsoft Cortana for Android and iOS never took off with mobile users.
Reading the writing on the wall, Microsoft announced in July that it would discontinue the Cortana app for mobile devices.
"As we announced in July, we will soon be ending support for the Cortana app on Android and iOS, as Cortana continues its evolution as a productivity assistant," Microsoft noted in a support document.
If you use Cortana and you've created reminders and lists, Microsoft says you can still access those contents through Cortana in Windows.
For Windows 10, Microsoft has promised that Cortana will still receive new features, and it will get better with regular updates via the Microsoft Store.
