 Microsoft Pay now supports Masterpass by Mastercard, so that consumers can use their Microsoft account for fast and secure checkouts at their favorite retailers that accept Masterpass, without the need to reenter their information. This work further advances Mastercard and Microsoft’s shared goal to help optimize the payment experience for customers and merchants alike. “We are deeply committed to powering a secure and optimized shopping experience that consumers and merchants deserve. Integrating technologies like Microsoft Pay with Masterpass will help the industry move to standards-based payments. Microsoft is a great partner and we will continue to collaborate with Microsoft to make shopping a better experience on all devices,” says Raj Dhamodharan, senior vice president of Digital Solutions at Mastercard. Now U.S.-based consumers using the latest Microsoft Edge browser on Windows 10 devices can sign in to their Microsoft account and use Microsoft Pay to make secure purchases wherever Masterpass is accepted online.

While Essential has already announced the availability of Android Pie update today, we still have to wait for other OEMs to announce the Android Pie availability. However, Google confirmed that the devices which were in the Android P beta program will receive the Android Pie update in a timely manner. Google also confirmed earlier that Android One and Project Treble will allow more devices to get upgraded to Android Pie. The new update will bring many new features to Android like Digital Wellbeing dashboard, a new gesture-based navigation system, and other AI-enhanced improvements to the UI.

Digital Wellbeing dashboard is still in beta and you can follow the steps below to get it on your Pixel device right now. Visit OUR FORUM for more.
