Windows 10 Mobile Creators Update has been a very a very prevalent topic in the field of mobile technology. Last week, Microsoft announced that Windows 10 for Mobile was coming on April 25; then it later confirmed that only 13 devices would receive the update.

To make matters worse, there was little communication on the launch day. The firm released the update to the Release Preview ring for Insiders, right at the time that everyone was expecting it to hit Production, Microsoft Power User reported.

The rest of the afternoon was a mess of miscommunication and misdirection from Microsoft, until late that nigh when Dona Sarkar said that the Creators Update was finally rolling out "in waves across regions." Since then, there have been only a few scattered reports of users that have received the update, which is build 15063.251.

Today, however, it seems that the Windows 10 Mobile Creators Update is finally hitting the majority of unlocked devices. We got it on an HP Elite x3, Lumia 550, and Lumia 950 XL. Unfortunately, none of our carrier-locked phones are seeing the update, which means that if you've got a Windows phone from AT&T or T-Mobile, you'll probably have to wait another week or so.

According to Windows Central, the Creators Update does contain a few new features, such as the ability to purchase ebooks from the Windows Store and read them in the Edge browser. It does not include some of the expected features though, such as Night Light and the Continuum improvements that were promised at Ignite.

If your device has not received the Creators Update yet, you can always grab it through the Release Preview ring.
