Microsoft has released a new update last night of Beta app for Android, designed to test the features in development for the app, and users have found surprisingly an interesting novelty: the opportunity to join a Group of Xbox Live and chat with participants directly from the phone, as if we were in front of our console.

The introduction of this feature in the app Beta means that Microsoft is willing to add it soon on the final one, on both Android and iPhone, and opens up exciting possibilities: not only do you get to chat with a group of friends on Live even when not you to the console, but also those who play on PC or other platforms with titles not connected to Xbox Live, cross-play will now join a group Xbox Live to chat with the other players.

If you have an Android phone and would like to test this feature, you have to download the Beta . Otherwise, all you have to do is wait for the official release of the feature: we will keep you updated on when this will happen.
