Discord’erly Conduct
Android In-App navigation is in for a severe boost. Discord began as a desktop solution, before making its way to the mobile sphere.

That means, for some time yet, firms will be able to keep using their older applications within Windows 10 IoT Core Services. It’s sensational news for those who just aren’t ready to take the deep plunge into entirely new tech – just yet!
