Microsoft has rolled out a new version of the popular Your Phone app, keeping good on its promise of updating the inbox apps for Windows 11 following the launch.
Inspired by Windows 11, obviously.
Your Phone is an application that lets you easily manage your Android smartphone on your Windows device, providing access to your mobile companion’s various features and functionalities, including messages, calls, and photos.
This is what the company says in the post announcing this latest refresh of the application:
“The Your Phone app is evolving with an updated design that puts notifications at the center. Keep your phone in your pocket while staying on top of your life. The Your Phone app brings you an organized feed of your real-time notifications across all your most used apps.
In this new view, you’ll always have access to your messages, calls, and photos with the added benefit to stay on top of important messages and other notifications more efficiently with this glanceable view. The app also adopts the beauty of Windows 11 design to tie together your seamless experience on your Windows desktop.”
This is how it looks:
The application now has a much more modern look, and the UI design has been updated to focus on the most important things. This new layout also gives you a much clearer view of notifications.
In fact, the notification center now functions as a feed, which is not only familiar but also handy, as it offers options to reply quickly to a message without having to open a different window or go to a different menu.
Furthermore, this app now makes accessing calls, messages, apps, and photos easier.
Overall, this new redesign, although not a complete reimagining, has enough new bells and whistles to create a modern interface that aligns nicely with the look and feel of the Windows 11 operating system, which is about to be made available to more users.
This latest arrival comes merely a day after the launch of the new Media Player app that Redmond has cooked up for users to enjoy their multimedia on their Windows 11 devices.
There is no ETA yet on when this will be available to general users, but that moment should not be far off after the Insiders have completed the testing.
More of this, please!
