Last year Microsoft announced that the Windows 10 Mobile was officially dead and the company would be working on getting the best versions of Windows 10 apps to iOS and Android. Since that time, the brand has launched apps like its web browser Edge and the Microsoft Launcher and in the process getting millions of downloads from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

As per a report by Windows Central, one app that is still missing is the Movies & TV app that is currently only available on Windows platforms like Windows 10 PC, Xbox and Windows 10 Mobile. Anonymous sources have informed Windows Central that Microsoft is now finally working on bringing its Movies & TV service to iOS and Android.

The report states, “My sources suggest Microsoft is building these apps to give consumers more of a reason to buy content in the Microsoft Store. While most people have moved over to streaming content via services like Netflix, there is still a whole lot of content that isn't immediately, or ever, available to stream. Lots of people buy digital movies and TV content, and Microsoft has a huge store that a lot of people seemingly ignore or don't know about because there is no mobile companion app for their phone.”

With the introduction of this app, it should solidify Microsoft’s commitment to its digital content on the Microsoft Store.
