💡 Customizable Icons:

🌙 Dark Theme:

⛹️ Gesture Controls:
Navigate effortlessly with swiping, pinching, double-tapping, and more on the home screen. The app uses accessibility service permissions for features like screen locking and viewing recent apps.
Microsoft Launcher may ask for some optional permissions, such as:
· 🎤 Microphone: For voice-to-text features used in search, chat, to-do, and sticky notes.
· 📸 Photos and Videos: For wallpapers, blur effects, and Bing chat visual searches. In Android 13 and above, these permissions are replaced with 'All Files' access.
· 🔔 Notifications: To alert you of updates or app activities.
· 📇 Contacts: For finding contacts in Bing search.
· 📍 Location: For the weather widget.
· 📞 Phone: To dial contacts directly within the launcher by swiping.
· 📷 Camera: To create photo notes for sticky note cards and to search images in Bing.
· 📅 Calendar: To display calendar cards in the launcher feed.
You can still use Microsoft Launcher even if you don't grant these permissions, although some features might be limited. 🚀
