Summary

  • microsoft is developing a cross-device feature similar to apple’s handoff facility
  • users will be able to resume Spotify and other apps on their computers from the point they left off on their mobiles
  • it works through a small icon in the taskbar that, when clicked, opens the relevant app and takes the user to the exact place they were on the mobile app
  • this functionality, which microsoft is calling “cross device resume”, was shown in a video during a presentation to software developers, but the video has since been removed
  • it appears that microsoft does not plan to announce the feature until it has been widely tested and is more robust — the company has even removed references to the project from its website, and the feature is not included in the new Windows 11 unveil.
