OneDrive WP app updated with new photo folders and security PIN

Microsoft has released a fairly hefty update to its Windows Phone app.

And - amazingly - it's come just two days after the Android version of the app got the same update.

Thank you Microsoft for not making us wait the usual weeks...or months...before giving users of your own mobile platform the same updates you give rivals.

The WP app update gives you the ability to create your own photo albums:

The Albums update is exciting because it used to be a web-only feature and now you can create, view and share them from the app. Albums aren’t like traditional folders.  You can create an album using pictures and videos from anywhere in your OneDrive.  And, when you or people who share them with view them, it’s a much better experience: your photos stand front and center, thumbnails are larger, photos are edge-to-edge, and everything is arranged together into a beautiful collage.

There's also now an option to create a PIN to make your Windows Phone OneDrive app secure and stop other users of your devices looking at...or changing...what's inside.
