Thus, it comes as a separate application, the devices are not automatically receive the update, and need to download it manually.
After installing Launcher Now, you must select the feature in the “Settings” system, in the “Start” option (which is in the Device section). You can configure to use only once or set it as a permanent launcher. Now, simply press the “Home” button on the unit and check how was the interface. See what’s new:
