You will be able to access all of your images and movies from your iPhone directly in the Photos app thanks to a new connection with iCloud and Windows 11’s Photos app. Simply download the iCloud for Windows program from the Microsoft Store and select to sync your iCloud Photos.”
When the giants’ collab
When companies like Apple and Microsoft collaborate, users can surely expect something more. It’s important that photographs be accessible across operating systems. “Additionally, we want to make it simpler for you to get the entertainment you enjoy.
Xbox gaming consoles already support the Apple TV app, and starting today, Apple Music will be enabled there as well. We’re also pleased to announce that the Apple TV app and Apple Music will be available on Windows in the coming year.
By the end of 2022, previews of these apps will be accessible in the Microsoft Store. We can’t wait for you to be able to view your favorite Apple TV+ shows and movies as well as listen to your favorite music, playlists, and more from Apple Music on your Windows PC.” – added the official.
Apart from media and entertainment collaboration, users look forward to seeing Apple’s iMessage become accessible on their Windows operating system, thereby actually getting the best of both worlds.
