What's new in Windows 11 Build 22635.3209 (Beta)
Instant access to new photos and screenshots on your smartphone
Microsoft is rolling out a new feature that allows you to quickly access and edit recent photos and screenshots taken on your Android smartphone using the Snipping Tool in Windows 11. When you take a new photo or screenshot on your smartphone, you will see a notification to process the new media.
To enable this feature, go to Settings -> Bluetooth & Devices -> Mobile Devices. There, select "Manage devices" and allow the computer access to an Android smartphone. After this, the Cross Device Experience Host package required for this feature, will automatically be downloaded from the Microsoft Store.
This feature actually replaces the Phone Link page. It was first introduced in September 2023. Microsoft is rolling out it gradually, so not everyone will see it after updating to Build 23619.
