Overview

• Microsoft's 'Cross Device Resume' feature will allow users to continue app sessions from Android devices on Windows 11 PCs, similar to Apple's Handoff.
• A demo at Build 2025 highlighted Spotify integration, resuming a song on PC exactly where it was left off on an Android phone.
• The feature uses taskbar badges to indicate active app sessions, offering a one-click transition for uninterrupted app use across devices.
• Leaked screenshots suggest an initial rollout via OneDrive integration, with taskbar functionality and developer previews to follow.
• This initiative builds on Microsoft's 2016 Project Rome but represents a more focused approach to cross-platform continuity.
