Windows 10 has always faced issues related to toast or hamburger style menus. As most of you might be aware of, Windows Mobile OS lack a swipe to open hamburger menu, not a good sign to deal with. This is quite annoying, as every time you need to reach out to the top of the page, for clicking on the hamburger menu, giving you access to submenus. Even worse, when you receive a toast notification, and you have to immediately rush to the top.
It is even sad to see toast notifications blocking the hamburger menu in most apps. To be honest, Microsoft cannot really do anything about it. Even if you experience the same issue on iOS or Android, there is not one thing you can do about it. However, Android and iOS, do facilitate users with a swipe to hamburger menu, and so there is no question whatsoever of notifications popping up frequently, or a hamburger menu present right at the top.
We still suggest that Microsoft should introduce something like an in-built control, or facilitate users with a similar swipe to open hamburger menu, on Windows 10 mobile OS. It is expected that the company is going to address this issue with soon to be expected Redstone update. Windows Phone is known for a highly user-friendly interface, and an intuitive user experience. However, Windows 10 Mobile OS lacked this, which now seems to sort out with Redstone update.
With Redstone 2 update taking place in the spring of 2017, you can expect a huge set of old and new Windows 10 Mobile devices, addressing the major issue of toast notifications blocking the swipe to hamburger menu. However, before that you can expect Redstone 1 update to conquer Microsoft smartphones on July 29. Redstone 1 is anticipated to bring itself a wave of updated features like Action Center, Microsoft Edge, Cortana, File Explorer, and more, giving room to developers for delivering customized Windows mobile application development services.
