To minimize distractions from notification toasts, we now detect if the user is interacting with toasts or not and provide a suggestion to turn the toast banners off for such apps.
Passpoint Wi-Fi networks will now support enhanced connection performance and will display a URL in Quick Settings to provide information to users about the venue or event.

About the Beta Channel

The Beta Channel is the place where Microsoft previews experiences that are closer to what they will ship to their general customers. While new features may show up in the Beta Channel first, this does not mean every feature will ship. Microsoft encourages Insiders to read their blog post that outlines the ways they’ll try things out with Insiders in both the Dev and Beta Channels.
