This page will track all of the Redstone 3, now called Feature 2, Development Branch builds for Mobile that Microsoft ships to testers in the Windows Insider Program.
Redstone 3 the code name for the next major update to Windows 10, is expected to be released sometime in the fall of 2017 but it is unclear what role the updates in the Feature 2 branch will play in that release.
The builds will be listed in this tracker from newest to oldest and all you need to do is click through the gallery images to see information about each released build including how many days it has been since the last build release for Redstone 3 and now Featrure 2.

This build also includes all the improvements from KB4034674.
We fixed an issue where the MTP service would sometimes crash when you disconnected your phone while a file transfer is in progress.

We fixed an issue where Silverlight apps that use GPS would either not start or crash.
We fixed an issue where a non-default Messaging app (e.g. Skype) would crash with an Access Denied error when changing Download messages settings.
We fixed an issue where the new Privacy Consent popup would block loading of apps which used the activity detection and pedometer sensors.

What's New
Emoji 5.0: Just like we did on PC, we have added support for the latest Unicode updates – including new snacks, actions, dinosaurs, and even fantasy characters like genies, fairies and zombies – to Windows 10 Mobile in this build. They’re all accessible via both the touch keyboard and the Emoji Panel. We’ve tweaked some of our original emoji designs based on your feedback and to improve consistency with how the emoji is displayed on other platforms (while maintaining our Windows style).
Chinese Lunar Calendar: We have received questions about supporting the Chinese Lunar calendar on Windows 10 Mobile. The power of a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app is that it can run on any Windows-based device. The Calendar UWP app supports the Chinese Lunar calendar on both PC and Mobile.
Improvements and Fixes for Mobile
We fixed the issue where trying to update Windows Store apps saved to your SD card resulted in an 8007000B error. Apps installed on SD cards should update without any issue.
We fixed an issue where there was no icon shown for Windows Update for either new notifications or on the settings page under Settings > System > Notifications & actions.
Known Issues for Mobile
Occasionally, Narrator speaks phrases in English rather than the chosen non-English language.
There is a problem with the HP Elite X3 with wired docks where the portrait orientation setting is lost when the external display is disconnected and reconnected. A workaround for this is to reboot the phone after tapping the “OK” button instead of disconnecting and reconnecting. This workaround must be performed every time you connect to an external display you want to use with Continuum in portrait orientation.
When installing or updating a Windows Store app, you may see error 80070057. As a workaround, you can get the latest app by uninstalling the older version of the app from your device and reinstall latest version from Store.

We made some improvements to the Field Medic Store app, where we fixed an issue with collecting Watson crash data, enabled spell checking when editing a report, and updated the PowerOn/PowerOff profiles to include additional battery info.
We fixed an issue where the screen would occasionally flash black after launching or rotating the Camera app.
We fixed an issue with the HP Elite X3 reporting that the SD card had been removed from the device when it had not.

We fixed an issue with the Windows inbox NFC driver where occasionally the wrong card type data was reported.
We improved the Cortana resume-from-suspend behavior to enable a Cortana skill to be authenticated before the user interacts with the skill.
We fixed an issue with the behavior of the hardware search button in countries where Cortana is not available. In this case, the OEM provides the search app or URI.

We have added a privacy page to the Windows 10 Mobile OOBE and upgrade experiences that allows you to quickly and effectively make common privacy changes while setting up the device. However, Insiders have reported that their device would crash or reboot shortly after unlocking their device for the first time after the upgrade if their device did not have a password configured to unlock the device. After updating to Build 15207, you will see this privacy page one more time – but should no longer experience a crash or reboot.
