Microsoft Edge for iOS is currently available in English only, but the company said it will add support for other languages as it expands the preview. Keep in mind that, like other third-party web browsers, Microsoft Edge cannot be enabled as the default browser on iPhone. From a compatibility perspective, Microsoft said Edge for iOS should match the version of Safari that is currently available for iPhone. On iOS, Microsoft is using Apple's WebKit engine, as required for all third-party browsers on the platform. The mobile version doesn't have Cortana or built-in ad blocking. The report added that Bing, Google, and Yahoo can be set as the default search engine in Edge for iOS, which has a similar design as the desktop version. "Microsoft's Joe Belfiore says the company still has work to do on the desktop version of Edge to support this, but the company is hoping to enable this at some point in the future," said reporter Tom Warren. The mobile version also includes access to favorites, history, a reading list, and e-books, but The Verge said tabs and history of what you browse on your smartphone are not shared to the desktop version of Edge yet. Microsoft Edge will primarily appeal to iPhone users that use a Windows PC instead of a Mac thanks to a "Continue on PC" feature that enables users to push a website from the mobile to desktop version of the browser, like Apple's Handoff.Ĭontinue on PC functionality on the desktop side will be part of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, available worldwide October 17. Microsoft today announced that its Edge web browser is coming to iOS, starting with a beta version for iPhone available today.
