Two popular Windows Phone apps received new updates this week. The new versions of the Opera Mini browser and the Uber ride-sharing app can now be downloaded from the Windows Store.
No change logs were published for these app updates, so there's no word if they contain any major new features or improvements. While it's likely the Opera Mini and Uber apps just got bug fixes this week, please let us know if you notice anything more in our comments.
Thanks to everyone for the tips!

Opera Mini and Uber Windows Phone apps get minor updates
Minor update = minor story.
Nice to get paid by the word.
Dunno whether anyone of you noticed or not, but opera mini DOES support background downloading.
Found it just a few days ago.
Edge too on .218 :D

It does NOT work on continuum
Uber adds option to choose "UberMotor" (Indonesia only). https://newsroom.uber.com/indonesia/id/introducing-ubermotor/
I think they can change the option without an app update, like when we have uberChopper, uberDiamond, flower or uberBuka.
Can't download photos and videos in opera mini !
How's the start up time for Opera Mini now? Any improvement?
Ya .. Better than old version.

I wonder if I'll finally be able to verify my Uber account after this update.

Opera is the only browser that can navigate through my online banking on mobile
Well not only but it works and edge doesn't
Opera doesn't bring anything new or better to the table. Stock browser is ok for me.
I'm sorry? Opera Mini is a popular app? Since when?
Here in india ... Since my school days... Its work great on slow connection.

It is In places with low connection speed like Africa and India
Opera allows you to control image quality or even stop loading images. It Helps when I have limited or less data left. I wish they bring this to edge.
Since around 2005 when it came out. It was a Java MIDP application back then for Java enabled phones, I used it on a phone from 2002 and I was able to access pretty much full web on it way before anyone has even heard of iPhone.
It may be past its biggest glory days but it still has its use.
Really missing opera mini experience on android .
And UC browser need serious update for windows 10 mobile
Windows FAN... >>LUMIA 640 XL
I want to check out Opera because as you said UC browser needs help. It is pretty much unusable on my 950XL on the fast ring.
Agree. UC used to be my fav on wp8.1. Hopefully they'll update the browser with edge's render engine cuz the old ie render is really pale on w10m

Opera mini for Windows 10 mobile update not available in the store...why??
Maybe because its windows phone !!! P.s8.1 :P
Fragmentation, fragmentation everywhere.
Posted from WC for W10 running on my 930.
Windows 10 Mobile updates have never been in the Store. Go to Settings -> Update & security -> Phone update.
Opera mini browser
Just going by what you wrote.
Anyway, how has Opera been working for you on W10M?
Been working perfectly but it's slow to open, sometimes it takes over a minute

That's not what I would call perfect.
