Microsoft Office gets a new look on the iPhone

Source: Microsoft

Microsoft has updated its Office apps for the iPhone. There's a new contextual command bar and ribbon layout in the iPhone versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. This command bar is accessible from the bottom of the screen or the top of the keyboard when typing. It's now more in line with Microsoft's "Fluent" design" featuring more rounded corners and a slightly-tweaked layout.

As before, the menu has most of the settings you'd find in the ribbon bar on the desktop apps. The switcher also now features a rounded button and some of the horizontal dividers have been taken out. You can swipe up on the menu to make it larger, which will come in handy on the smaller screens of iPhones. These changes come as Microsoft plans to rebrand the mobile Office app to Microsoft 365, complete with a new logo.

YouTube gets a new Live Q&A feature

If you want to house AMAs (Ask Me Anythings) on YouTube, it's now easier to do that. The app lets its creators host dedicated question-and-answer sessions during live streams. This dedicated tool will make it easier to direct your live streams and help you respond easily to the questions you get.

When you start a Q&A, your prompt message will be pinned at the top of the stream's chat. Your viewers can submit questions and then when you find a question you want to discuss, you can pin that so it's easier for everyone to follow what you're answering. You can then pin the next question, and so on. When you're done, you can revert it to the standard chatroom.
