Windows 10 update: New 'friend tracker' app for phone leaked

Another new unique feature that will allegedly be included in the upcoming Windows 10 software has been leaked. 

In a report posted by Spanish website Microsoft Place, a leaked video shows that Windows 10 for phones will offer a new feature that will inform users about the location of their loved ones in real time. According to the report, the feature in development is currently being referred to as Buddy Aware, but it will eventually be called People Sense when it goes public since the software already offers the Wi-Fi Sense Wi-Fi discovery app and Data Sense discovery app. 

Allegedly, People Sense contains different features that will help users share their real-time location with several trusted contacts. It also has integrated navigation apps that could offer step-by-step instructions to the selected contacts so that they can be reached easily. Also, this app comes with messaging and calling integration so that reaching out to the selected contact can be done white the app is running. 

The Spanish website claims that the purported feature is genuine and not a rumor since the last build date that was mentioned in the leaked video is Feb. 17, meaning it's an active project.

If this report is true, there is a possibility that People Sense will appear in the upcoming beta of Windows 10.

Currently, some Lumia devices can now try downloading the beta version of the new Microsoft mobile operating system. These devices include the Lumia 830, Lumia 730, Lumia 638, Lumia 636, Lumia 635, and Lumia 630. 

Other notable features of Windows 10 include new Calendar, Mail, and Microsoft apps. It is also reported that Microsoft is working to come up with a "universal" app that can work well for both the Windows 10 operating system and the Windows 10 for phones without having any compatibility issues.
