[geeteam]

Microsoft has posted their official changelog for the GDR1 update on the Windows Phone Blog.

Although it misses a number of things specific to OEMs and carriers, as well as no mention of the improved Bluetooth stack and IE updates, it does list a number of improvements specific to the end user experience.

Windows Phone 8.1 Update OS version: 8.10.14141.167 or 8.10.14147.180

Folders

Folders let you organize your Start screen the way you want. Just push one Tile on top of another one to create a folder and get going.

Messaging

Combine multiple text messages into one, and then forward them to someone else.

Selection

With improved selection, you can now delete multiple calls, messages, or contacts.

Apps Corner

Apps Corner lets you specify apps other people can use on a Windows Phone. Great for individuals and any-sized organizations who want to provide only the essential apps for others to use for work, school, or any other reason.

Alarms

Now you can customize the snooze time for an alarm, and then enjoy a little more shuteye for the time you want.

Accessory apps

Use accessory apps to get notifications from your phone on your smart watch, active phone cover, fitness tracker, or other kinds of accessories.

Internet sharing

Now you can share your cellular data connection over Bluetooth, so you can get an Internet connection on more kinds of devices.

VPN

VPN now supports L2TP, which lets you connect to more VPN services. Whether you connect to a VPN for work or personal use, you can do it on your Windows Phone.

Narrator

Narrator now has touch typing and a way for you to turn off hints for controls and buttons if you don’t want them read aloud. Some other improvements to Narrator help you unlock your phone a little more quickly, find and use the Back, Start, and Search buttons more easily, and tell you when your phone screen is on or off.
