Leaked screenshots show of Windows Phone 8.1 Notification Center

We've been waiting a long time for this one haven't we. Recent screenshot leaks online show of Microsoft's new Windows Phone 8.1 update that the Redmond giant has worked hard the past few months on. As visible on the screenshot a highly requested and fully working Notification center that will allow users to customize and control their app notifications.

The first screenshot shows that the ''Action Center'' as Microsoft is calling it will be a quick swipe from the top of the screen. This will display four quick settings shortcuts like Wi-Fi, Bloetooth, Airplane mode etc. All four are customizable. The Action center will now also display the full date and battery level percentage (no need for third party apps anymore). Also app notifications will be able to be silently updated, moved and deleted from this view.

This latest screenshot leak follows a previous example showing the separate volume controls for Windows Phone 8.1. Microsoft is finally splitting volume controls for ringer / notifications and media / apps in the upcoming update. It’s a minor addition, but a highly requested feature from Windows Phone users. Microsoft is also building its own "Cortana" personal assistant into Windows Phone 8.1. Foursquare, Bing, and other data sources will help power the service, and it’s expected to be unveiled alongside all of Windows Phone 8.1’s features at the Build developer conference in April.
