If you’re enrolled in the beta version of the Cortana app for Android, you’ve already got access to one of its more interesting updates in recent memory. As spotted by MSPoweruser , Microsoft has introduced a feature that brings its AI assistant front and center on Google’s mobile OS.
Enabling “Add Cortana to my lock screen” will add a shortcut to the app directly on top of a user’s existing lock screen – similar to what many Android manufacturers have implemented for their own camera apps. In its current form, at least, the shortcut appears accessible to anyone who picks up the handset, whether they know the password or not.
