From the teaser, you will find that new version of "Photos" will be able to simultaneously view multiple images at once. Also, when viewing photos, a list of recent image thumbnails will appear at the bottom of the window.

Microsoft ships with the Photos app pre-installed with Windows 10 and Windows 11. The goal is to replace the classic Windows Photo Viewer with a modern app. The app is notable for tight integration with Microsoft's very own cloud solution, OneDrive. 

The built-in Photos app allows viewing images and performing basic editing. It is pinned to the Start menu. Also, the app is associated with most image file formats out of the box. It can also index network locations for faster image rendering.
