In addition, users will also be able to show “More” or “Less” of the search history section to their liking.

Lastly, the Microsoft Launcher team squashed some more bugs resulting in some additional performance improvements across the experience. The team doesn’t get into the nitty gritty of specifically what’s been adjusted or addressed, so we’ll be reliant on the comment and review section in the Play Store for user generated updates.
