Microsoft is introducing a new 'Cross Device Resume' feature in Windows 11, similar to Apple's Handoff, which allows for seamless app switching between Windows 11 PC and Android smartphones.
The feature was showcased at Build 2025, demonstrating the ability to resume activities between an Android device and Windows 11 PC, with apps like Spotify and potentially WhatsApp incorporating this functionality.
Although Microsoft removed the demonstration video of Cross Device Resume, leaked screenshots suggest that switching from an Android phone to a Windows 11 PC will allow users to continue tasks from where they left off on the mobile device.
Microsoft is working on providing software developers with the tools to integrate the Cross Device Resume feature into their apps, potentially expanding beyond OneDrive to cover a range of applications, although the feature is not yet publicly available.
