- Windows 11 has a CV functionality in test constructions
- For the moment, it’s just for Spotify, but no more developers will enter on time
- If you listen to a track on your Android phone, you can go back to your Windows 11 PC transparency
Windows 11 obtains a new capacity by which the desktop operating system will allow you to use what you do before in an application on your Android phone.
This is only available in tests for the moment – in Windows 11, the preview of constructions in the Dev and Beta channels – and although it ends up arriving at a range of applications, to start, it only works with Spotify.
As Microsoft explains in a blog article, the functioning of the functionality is as follows: let’s say that you listen to a reading list or a podcast on Spotify on your smartphone, and that you stop it, then go to your office PC.
When you launch Windows 11, you will see an `alert of the CV ” appear from your taskbar at the bottom of the screen, allowing you to know that you can continue your spotify to listen to the PC. Simply click on this alert and the Spotify application will be open, continuing to read exactly where you stopped on your Android smartphone.
Microsoft reminds us that we must have the Spotify app installed on the PC and be connected to the same account as the one that runs on the smartphone, as you can imagine. If you have not been installed Spotify in Windows 11, a button to install the Microsoft store software will appear – just connect to your Spotify account.
In addition, you must have the link to the Windows application running on your smartphone and have access to your mobile activated on your Windows 11 PC, in accordance with Microsoft’s instructions in its blog article.
Analysis: an excellent addition – but Microsoft has really taken its time
This is essentially Microsoft’s vision on Apple’s transfer function, and this seems to be a rationalized and useful capacity that I am impatient to see its beginnings on Windows 11. Its revelation is not a surprise, because Microsoft accidentally gave us an overview of the functionality in a pre-recorded construction session earlier this year, whose video was quickly changed. This has worked almost exactly in the same way as in tests now (Spotify being also used in this early demo).
The technical name of this trick is Cross Device CV and, hopefully, a number of software developers will be on board support for this – those who have available applications on Windows 11 and Android, of course. Microsoft will undoubtedly lead to some of the biggest names, and in addition to Spotify, we have also heard that WhatsApp could comply with this treatment.
Obviously, the CV feature will also try to push the installations of the Microsoft Store, which will not harm traffic – something that the company has worked lately.
Although the resumption of Android applications on Windows 11 is clearly excellent feature, and that it is good to see entrant, the main question here is why has taken so long for Microsoft to imply this?
