You might have easily missed it, but Microsoft today released Windows 10 Insider Preview build 14385 for both PC and Mobile.
Neither of the two builds contain any front-facing features. After all, we're only 24 days away from the Anniversary Update now, so Insiders should be receiving an RTM (release to manufacturing) build fairly soon. Also, it's been some time since a Mobile build contained new features, so today's shouldn't be surprising at all.
As usual, it does contain a list of fixes, improvements, and known issues. Here's what got fixed or improved in Windows 10 Mobile build 14385:
You can open PDFs in Microsoft Edge and use touch to interact with the PDF (such as scrolling, pan or zoom) again without it constantly reloading the PDF.
We have improved battery life for older devices, such as the Lumia 830, 930, and 1520.
We fixed an issue where setting the SIM name on a dual SIM phone would sometimes fail.
Here are the known issues:
Voice Recorder does not show up consistently as an option for Call Recording. We heard your feedback and are working actively on this.
The keyboard doesn’t show up consistently for InPrivate mode on Microsoft Edge. We’re working on this. A workaround is to click on the Microsoft privacy statement hyperlink on that page and then the keyboard works in the search/address bar. We’re working on fixing this.
REMINDER: We have changed the backup format for Windows 10 Mobile devices to reduce the size of the backup stored in OneDrive. As a result, if you do a backup on a device running the latest Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview builds and move back to the released version of Windows 10 Mobile (Build 10586) and restore from your backup – your Start screen layout won’t restore and remain the default Start layout. Your previous backup also gets overwritten. If you need to go back to Build 10586 temporarily, once you are on Build 10586 you should disable backup so it doesn’t overwrite the good backup from Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview builds.
As you can see, it's a much smaller list of fixes than from previous builds, and it's also much less than today's PC build. Perhaps, this can be taken as a good sign of the Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update being almost ready.
If you're on the Fast ring, you can grab build 14385 by heading to Settings -> Update & security -> Phone update -> Check for updates. If you're not and you want to be, you can download the Windows Insider app and set it to Insider Fast.
