Microsoft's Remote Desktop app for iOS didn't get any update over the last year or so, and Microsoft is now changing that with a massive update that adds Windows Virtual Desktop support, and more.
-->We regularly update the Remote Desktop web client, adding new features and fixing issues. Here's where you'll find the latest updates.
Note
We've changed the versioning system for the web client. Starting with version 1.0.18.0, all web client release versions will contain numbers (in the format of 'W.X.Y.Z'). Release numbers for the Remote Desktop web client will always end with a 0 (for example, W.X.Y.0). Each Windows Virtual Desktop web client release will change the last digit until the next Remote Desktop web client release (for example, 1.0.18.1).
