Microsoft has already shown how it wants Android to be present in Windows 11. These two systems are increasingly integrated, just like a PC and a smartphone. This union is now growing with an important and interesting novelty. Android returns to the center of Windows 11 and is also present in the Start menu.
Windows 11 and Android are increasingly coming together
We have seen Windows 11 getting unique integration with Android. With the Phone Link app, Microsoft has created suggestions that allow you to quickly transfer files and other capabilities. Now, Microsoft has unveiled a new feature that takes this integration to the next level.
how it was Announce As we have already seen, Google is now present in the Windows 11 Start menu, making interaction easier and faster. To this end, a new sidebar now appears where a lot of information about the linked smartphone can be seen.
Microsoft has improved the Start menu
In this sidebar, the smartphone can be seen, as well as the battery and connectivity status at the top. Below, messages, calls, and photos can be managed directly from the Start menu.
Additionally, users can continue certain actions in apps and activities from where they left off on their smartphones. This has been one of the most requested guilds by users, which is now closer to happening. It should be noted that this new feature is still being tested in the Insider Program.
Copilot is also receiving new features in this release
Another change brought by Microsoft in the latest release makes the keyboard shortcut for Copilot disappear. This was using the Win + C key, which previously belonged to Cortana. Since Copilot now has a dedicated icon in the Start menu, the specific shortcut no longer makes sense.
It's interesting to see how Microsoft increasingly wants Android to be present. Even after turning off the apps right away, it continues to reassure users that they can control many features from a single point on the PC they use daily. Without leaving Windows 11, everything is happening on several fronts.
