Windows 11 is already packed with impressive features, but it’s about to get even better. Let’s dive into the exciting upgrades coming to your favorite tools.
Major Upgrades to Your Favorite Tools
Snipping Tool: This humble screenshotting tool has been a reliable companion for capturing our screens. Now, it’s getting a major upgrade with ‘Text Actions,’ a text capture and recognition capability. You can copy and paste text directly from a screenshot, eliminating the need to manually type out information from an image. Plus, the new ‘Quick Redact’ function lets you hide sensitive information right in the screenshot, making it easier to protect confidential data.
Phone Link Feature: Windows 11’s integration with Android devices is getting even better. Syncing your phone with your PC will be a breeze, making your devices work seamlessly together.
Photos App Enhancements: Based on community feedback, the Photos app is getting a makeover. The new Background Blur option lets you blur out the background to make your subject pop. You can control the intensity of the blur and select specific areas to blur.
Content Search for Photos: Microsoft is introducing a ‘Content Search’ capability for photos backed up on OneDrive. This feature uses intelligent image detection software to scan and label your photos with searchable tags. You can also search for photos based on location across local files, OneDrive, and even Apple’s iCloud. iPhone users, rejoice!
Video Editing Features: There are hints that video editing functions might be returning. Microsoft’s announcement mentions that “Edit and Create Video options are now easily accessible at the top of the gallery view,” suggesting some video editing capabilities may be on their way.
