Microsoft Garage updated their Hub Keyboard Preview and Next Lock Screen apps today with some important fixes.

Over the weekend, we did a hands-on video showing Microsoft's Arrow Launcher, Next Lock Screen, and Hub Keyboard all working together, along with other Microsoft services on Android. It truly turns a Google Android phone into a Microsoft device.

Here's what's new for Hub Keyboard:

Here's what's new for Next Lock Screen:
