Microsoft’s New ‘Resume’ Makes Device Handoff Seamless
1 minutes read
Microsoft is stepping up its game with a major upgrade to its ‘Resume’ feature, bringing it closer to Apple’s popular Handoff experience. Soon, you’ll be able to seamlessly switch between your Android device and Windows PC in more apps than ever before—no more starting from scratch when moving between screens.
The update opens ‘Resume’ to a wider range of Android apps by supporting the common Windows Notification System (WNS), meaning developers can now make their apps compatible much more easily. While apps will still need Microsoft’s approval, this change signals a future where working across devices is smoother and more productive for Windows and Android users alike.
Curious about getting started? You can enable Resume right now in your Windows Settings, though only a handful of apps like OneDrive are currently supported. But with these new changes on the horizon, expect your cross-device workflow to get a lot more powerful soon.
