Microsoft Remote Desktop for iOS Can Switch Orientations

Technology giant Microsoft recently released an update for its remote desktop app on iOS that focuses on the dynamic switching between landscape and portrait modes.

As per Windows Central, most of the changes in the latest version focus on improving the experience when switching between landscape and portrait mode. The application now has a redesigned on-screen keyboard, a revamped in-session immersive switcher, and support for landscape and portrait orientations when using the connecting UI. 

The company was quoted as saying by the website, “It is finally time for our first update of the year. This is a big one with some new features additions and lots of bugs fixes and improvements.”

The biggest change in this release is that you can now dynamically change the orientation of a remote session (landscape or portrait) when connecting to Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, or later.
