Microsoft could be eyeing its own ‘super app.’

Microsoft has been considering building a “super app” to challenge Google and Apple’s hold on mobile. The Information reports that the app would be a one-stop for shopping, messaging, search, news, and more.

Microsoft did hire a former Uber exec to lead a consumer apps effort last year after unsuccessfully chasing Discord and TikTok acquisitions. It’s not clear if this “super app” will ever materialize, though.
