New Microsoft Band 2 update brings ability to add more tiles, create challenges

Microsoft has rolled out a new update to its Band 2 fitness wearable that brings some new features such the ability to add more tiles and create challenges, as well as regular bug fixes. The update is available for all major mobile platforms.

With the new update, you can now choose up to 20 tiles to appear on your Microsoft Band 2 start strip. In addition, the app now also lets you create challenges - for activities like steps, cardio minutes, runs, and bike rides - between you and your Facebook friends who also use the Microsoft Health app.

The update also brings along the ability to choose apps that can send notifications, allowing you to only get notified from the apps that you care about most - this feature is only listed in the change-log of Health app's Windows Store listing.
