This document describes techniques and apparatuses for presenting an application change through a tile. These techniques enable a user to see content associated with content changes to an application or other information about the application, such as a new article, new email, or a software update having become available since a user last visited the application. By so doing, the techniques enable a user to forgo visiting the application or permit the user to quickly and easily decide whether or not to visit the application.

1. A computing device comprising: one or more computer processors; andone or more computer-readable storage devices having instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by the one or more computer processors, implements a reporter configured to:present an application-selectable user interface having multiple, selectable tiles associated with multiple applications, respectively, one of the multiple selectable tiles reporting a change associated with the application to which the one of the multiple selectable tiles is associated and within a selectable area of the one of the multiple selectable tiles;receive selection of the selectable area of the one of the multiple selectable tiles in which the change associated with the application is reported; andresponsive to selection of the selectable area of the selected tile, present the selected application with content associated with the change. 2. The computing device of claim 1, wherein presentation of the selected application with content associated with the change presents an interface superimposed over the application-selectable user interface. 3. The computing device of claim 1, wherein reporting the change presents a portion of the content associated with the change. 4. The computing device of claim 3, wherein presentation of the selected application with the content associated with the change includes the portion of the content associated with the change and additional content associated with the change, the portion of the content and the additional content in a same interface associated with the selected application. 5. The computing device of claim 1, wherein presentation of the selected application with content associated with the change presents a webpage having a full representation of the content. 6. The computing device of claim 1, wherein presentation of the selected application with content associated with the change does not present a default or home interface associated with the application. 7. The computing device of claim 1, wherein presentation of the selected application with content associated with the change executes or launches the selected application. 8. The computing device of claim 1, wherein presentation of the selected application with content associated with the change hides the application-selectable user interface and presents an interface associated with the application in a different environment. 9. The computing device of claim 1, wherein the selected application, wherein the selected application, when selected, is not executing, and wherein presentation of the selected application includes launching the selected application. 10. The computing device of claim 1, wherein the reporter is further configured to: present, within the application-selectable user interface another of the multiple selectable tiles associated with multiple applications, the other of the multiple selectable tiles having a selectable application-identification area, the selectable application-identification area presenting an identifier associated with the application to which the other of the multiple, selectable tiles is associated;receive selection of the selectable application-identification area of the other of the multiple selectable tiles; andresponsive to selection of selectable application-identification area of the other of the multiple selectable tiles, launch the other of the multiple selectable tiles in a default or home interface. 11. The computing device of claim 10, wherein the other of the multiple selectable tiles includes a selectable content area showing a content change and the launch in the default or home interface does not present the content change. 12. A computing device comprising: one or more computer processors; andone or more computer-readable storage devices having instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by the one or more computer processors, implements a reporter configured to:present an application-selectable user interface having multiple, selectable tiles associated with multiple applications, respectively, two or more of the multiple selectable tiles reporting a change associated with the application to which each of the two or more of the multiple selectable tiles is associated, the reporting without necessitating execution of the applications for which each of the changes is associated;receive selection of one of the multiple selectable tiles in which the change associated with the application is reported; andresponsive to selection of the selected tile, present the selected application with content associated with the change. 13. The computing device of claim 12, wherein presentation of the selected application with content associated with the change launches the selected application. 14. The computing device of claim 12, wherein presentation of the selected application with content associated with the change presents an interface superimposed over the application-selectable user interface. 15. The computing device of claim 12, wherein presentation of the selected application with content associated with the change hides the application-selectable user interface and presents an interface associated with the application in a different environment. 16. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving a first report for a first application, the first report indicating a first content change to the first application;receiving a second report for a second application, the second report indicating a second content change to the second application;presenting an application-selectable user interface having first and second selectable tiles, the first selectable tile associated with the first application and presenting, within the first selectable tile, first content associated with the first content change, the second selectable tile associated with the second application and presenting, within the second selectable tile, second content associated with the second content change;receiving selection of the first or second selectable tile; andresponsive to selection of the selected first or second tile, presenting additional content associated with the first content change or the second content change for the selected first or second application associated with the first or second selected tile. 17. The computer-implemented method of claim 16, wherein presenting the additional content associated with the first content change or the second content change presents the additional content within or associated with the first or second selected tile. 18. The computer-implemented method of claim 16, wherein the selection of the selected first or second tile is through a selectable area presenting the first content change or the second content change and within the first or second selected tile. 19. The computer-implemented method of claim 16, wherein presenting the additional content associated with the first content change or the second content change for the selected first or second application associated with the first or second selected tile of the selected application hides the application-selectable user interface and presents an interface associated with the application in a different environment. 20. The computer-implemented method of claim 16, wherein presenting the additional content associated with the first content change or the second content change for the selected first or second application associated with the first or second selected tile of the selected application presents an interface superimposed over the application-selectable user interface.
