  • Users can continue activity from Android to PC for Spotify playback and Office work in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, as well as resume browsing sessions.
  • Browsing continuity supports Microsoft Edge and Vivo’s browser, allowing phone sessions to be picked up on a Windows 11 PC.
  • Phones from Samsung, Vivo, HONOR, Oppo, and Xiaomi can resume cloud files opened in the Microsoft Copilot mobile app directly on a PC.
  • The update also includes enhanced MIDI 2.0 support, voice typing improvements, Windows Hello ESS fingerprint support, and added Settings Agent languages on Copilot Plus PCs.
