The layout of news has been modified and there's a new quiz option at the bottom of today view that would allow Cortana to learn even more about your personal habits. Furthermore, Cortana will now verbally reply to select inquires. You might also notice that when asking “What is my name?” Cortana will speak it back. New animations on the Live Tile, including weather icons, are available as well. Well, first of all, you will now be able to import your Stock watch list from Bing Finance. Note that this is not the full list of improvements, so if you find new ones, make sure to share them in the comments section. So, here are some of the changes noticed by some of WPCentral's forum users. Keep in mind that these changes may not be available for your device running Windows Phone 8.1 Developer Preview yet, but you might be eligible for the update in the coming days. Luckily, the folks over at WPCentral have managed to pinpoint some of the improvements that Microsoft might have delivered to Cortana beginning this week. This is also one of the reasons why it's hard to tell when Microsoft releases a new update for Cortana and what the changes included are. Instead, Cortana is updated dynamically, so the application should be silently upgraded with new features the moment Microsoft decides to push them live. Cortana has been confirmed to receive updates from Microsoft twice a month, but these upgrades do not require users to download any of them for their phones. In fact, they could also be pulled by Microsoft at any time. The bad news is that there's no way to tell whether these changes will be rolled out to all Windows Phone 8.1 users or they will be available for a limited number of users for testing reasons. There is some good and bad news for Windows Phone 8.1 early adopters, as Microsoft seems to have started to roll out an update for Cortana.
