Windows 11 will let you view phone photos in File Explorer
2023-06-01 18:27

Microsoft is now rolling out a new Windows 11 dev build allowing Insiders to view their phone's camera roll in the File Explorer Gallery.

Once the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23471 gets installed, they can add photos from their phone by clicking a new button added to the File Explorer's command bar.

"There is a new button in the Command Bar titled 'Add Phone Photos' that will help with setting up your PC to be ready to show these photos in Gallery," Microsoft's Amanda Langowski and Brandon LeBlanc said.

The Gallery feature used to view the synced phone photos is now available to all Dev Channel Insiders running Build 23435 or later.

Today, Microsoft also introduced a new feature that allows Windows Insiders to tear out and merge tabs within File Explorer.

Last week, Redmond also introduced one of the most requested Windows 11 features, which ensures that all windows are shown as individual items in the taskbar after enabling a 'never combine taskbar buttons' mode.
