Microsoft, as you know, develops its applications for mobile devices with Android and iPhone. The company seems to be experimenting with all kinds of ideas, to increase the number of its users on them two platforms.
The latest example concerns Microsoft's Android apps, which have started showing ads in the Share menu in an attempt to persuade users to install other apps developed by its developers. Redmond.
Specifically, Android Police discovered that when you use a application of Microsoft and you are trying to share a file, the Share menu which usually shows the icons of the applications already installed on device it also includes shortcuts to other Android apps developed by Microsoft that you don't have installed.
If you click on one of these icons, which usually says the name of the application (Installation), it will take you to Google Play Store, where you can download and install the Microsoft application.
The ads are not necessarily annoying, as they are placed in the Share feature, but they fill the screen with icons, especially if you use a few company applications.
The worst that can happen according with AP, is that more and more developers can follow in Microsoft's footsteps and start advertising their own applications from the Share menu.
If this starts to happen, the share function on Android will become very difficult to use, as you will try to find the application you are interested in among many others.
