Windows 11 is about to copy an excellent feature from the Apple ecosystem.
For a short time, the feature was called “Continue from Phone.”
“Resume” on Windows 11 allows you to click a notification to continue editing a document you had open on your smartphone.
Microsoft then called the feature “Hand Off.”
They confirmed that ResumeisContinue from Phone but under a new name.
The feature only works if your PC was locked when you opened a document on your phone.
Below are the change log sections related to the two largest additions seen in Build 27788.
Microsoft also notes the build’s fixes and other changes in therelease notes.
It works on 64-bit operating systems on all supported processors, including Arm64.
Current preview releases are availableon our GitHub repo releases page.
