Microsoft is getting ready to improve Windows 11’s ability to resume Android apps on a PC. The software giant first introduced its cross-device resume last year, letting Windows 11 users resume OneDrive sessions from their Android device on a PC. Now, it’s expanding this to Spotify playback, browsing sessions, and more.
The improved cross-device resume support, which has been in testing since August, is part of the latest Release Preview update to Windows 11 that started rolling out yesterday. It includes the ability to resume Spotify playback on a PC from a phone, as well as any work in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. You’ll also be able to continue an Edge browsing session from a phone on your PC.
The feature is very similar to Handoff on macOS, which lets you resume tasks across Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch. Microsoft first announced its cross-device resume support in Windows 11 at its Build developer conference last year. Windows 10 also had its own app handoff feature, codenamed Project Rome, that wasn’t widely adopted by developers.
The addition to the Release Preview ring of testing means this improved cross-device feature is imminent. The update also includes “enhanced” MIDI 2.0 support on Windows 11, voice typing improvements, and fingerprint sensor support for Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-in Security (ESS). If you own a Copilot Plus PC, this update will also allow the new Settings Agent to support German, Portuguese, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, Hindi, Italian, and Chinese (Simplified) languages.
