Microsoft has delivered its latest updates to Office for iOS, bringing new capabilities to the productivity suite. The most significant addition is the ability to write, draw and highlight in documents on iPhones using your fingers.
The company introduced finger-based annotations for Office on its own mobile devices back in June, with Office Insider Preview build 17.7070 for Windows 10 phones and tablets.
Its latest update to Office for iOS bumps the version number up to 1.24. Here's the full changelog:
