Back in July, Microsoft released a firmware update for its Lumia 950 and 950 XL devices. The update included improvements to WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, along with the long-awaited double tap to wake functionality as well as many other improvements.
The update has been rolling out around the world, albeit at a slow pace, with users in the UK being the most vocal about having to wait. Last month we reported that users on the O2 mobile network were beginning to receive the update on their Lumia 950’s, which EE also followed suit with shortly after.
