Remote Desktop is one of Microsoft’s most popular apps on Android with over 5 million installs. Yesterday, Microsoft released a new update for the Remote Desktop app on Android, adding some minor improvements. Firstly, Microsoft says the update enhances mouse pointer’s precision which is going to be really helpful especially if you are using an Android phone with a small screen. The update also disables autocorrect in remote sessions automatically, which is also a neat change. Here’s the full changelog:

  • Disabled autocorrect in remote sessions. (The previous version triggered it automatically.)
  • Enhanced mouse pointer’s precision.
  • Fixed an issue where the period (.) was mapped to the asterisk (*) on your physical keyboard’s number pad.
  • Fixed crashes to improve stability.

Microsoft Remote Desktop’s latest update is already live on the Google Play Store and you can grab it here.
