Microsoft is working on a new "Cross Device Resume" feature for Windows 11 similar to Apple's Handoff feature in macOS.
The feature allows users to smoothly transition between mobile and PC apps. A subtle badge on the taskbar icon indicates the ability to resume the app on the PC from where it was left off on a mobile device.
The demo showcased the seamless transition of a Spotify app from a mobile device to a PC, maintaining the same song and user experience without interruptions.
Microsoft had previously tested a similar app handoff feature in Windows 10 called Project Rome, but the adoption was limited. The new Cross Device Resume feature aims for wider adoption.
