Device Hub on Windows 10 Mobile morphs into new Gadgets app with latest update

If you own a Windows 10 Mobile device, but isn't the new Lumia 950 or Lumia 950 XL, you might see an update for the Device Hub app. Microsoft is pushing out an update that basically changes it into the new Gadgets app that's already available on the company's new smartphones that have Windows 10 Mobile out of the box. This marks the third name change as the app originally started off being called Accessories.

The Gadgets app still allows users to manage both wired and wireless connected devices such as speakers and the new Display Dock accessory. It offers an alert when a Bluetooth connection has been cut and it also includes battery levels for any connected devices.

If are already on the Lumia 950 or Lumia 950 XL you will see the update too. We can confirm this update does fix the 'Groove app not opening' automatically when using custom settings bug.

Thanks to Vyenkatesh for the heads-up!
