Part of the reason that automation app IFTTT is so popular is how often it's updated to add useful new features and more third-party services. It recently got support for custom rich notifications on Android and Cortana was among the new services added in February. The latest update to the app has just arrived, bringing with it a couple of minor changes, and yet more services have also been added.
IFTTT v3.5.2 introduces a semi-adaptive icon, which means it's the company's logo on top of an adaptive white background — much like many of Google's white dinner plate icons. There's also a new sync option to make WiFi and battery applets more reliable, plus more personalized applet recommendation. You can see the full changelog below:
WHAT'S NEW
