Microsoft plans to provide Windows 11 users with almost instant access to photos and screenshots they've taken on their Android smartphones.
The new feature "Introduces the ability to effortlessly access and edit your most recent photos and screenshots from your Android mobile device in Snipping Tool on your PC," the Windows Insider team said.
Microsoft is gradually rolling out this change to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels running Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23619.
With this Windows 11 Insider build, Redmond is also testing Microsoft Teams meeting reminders displayed directly in the Windows Start menu's Recommended section.
"For people logged into Windows 11 Pro or Enterprise editions with a Microsoft Entra ID account, we are trying out the ability to view and join upcoming Microsoft Teams meetings directly from the Start menu," Microsoft said.
Microsoft starts testing new Windows 11 Energy Saver feature.
