Technological advancements continues to make our lives easier and assist us in our daily tasks. However, if you don’t use the right products, the situation can sometimes be the opposite. Being within an ecosystem and using devices that communicate with each other is great. However, if you step outside of that ecosystem, things can get a bit messy. If you’ve ever used a Windows PC and an iPhone simultaneously, you can understand what I mean. But Microsoft aims to solve this problem with its new Windows app for iPhones, iPads, Macs, and PCs. Here are the details…

Microsoft’s New Windows App Unveiled

Microsoft has developed a new Windows app for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, Windows, and web browsers. This app essentially replaces the previous Windows 365 and serves as a central hub used to view Windows from a remote computer. However, the preview version is currently not available on Android.

As a result, users can access, control, and use their remote devices even when they are not constantly at their computers. Establishing communication between Windows and iPhone has, until now, been quite a literal pain. However, this has somewhat reduced the access issue between the two devices. At least now, you don’t have to go through the hassle of trying to access photos and files on your computer.

At the moment, it seems the app is limited to Microsoft’s business accounts, but there are hints that it will eventually be available for consumers. The app comes with a range of features, including multi-monitor support, custom screen resolutions, dynamic screen resolutions and scaling, and support for devices like webcams, audio, storage devices, and printers redirection.

Microsoft has had remote connection applications for computers for many years, but the introduction of a dedicated “Windows App” is a unique development, possibly signaling that Microsoft’s broader goal of transitioning Windows entirely to the cloud is still in progress.
