Microsoft’s Your Phone to Get Image Management

Microsoft is working on a feature for its Your Phone app that will let users browse and manage images from their smartphone to PC.

has opted for a slow but steady evolution for its app, adding features to the tool incrementally. Over the last year, new features have made the app that bridges your smartphone to a PC far more useful. Microsoft is now working on a couple of other interesting additions.

When the feature arrives, it will allow users to collect images from their smartphone on their Windows PC. Furthermore, the Your Phone desktop app will also provide the ability to browse through images and delete them.

ALumia discovered the upcoming feature and provided the video below of it in action.

That's not the only Your Phone feature in the works. Microsoft is also bringing a prompt that allows users to pin the app to the Windows taskbar. This is a welcome addition considering Your Phone is not always the fastest app to start.

Coming Soon

Last month, we reported Microsoft has already prepared Your Phone for the launch of its Surface Duo smartphone. This was seen as an important step that suggests Microsoft's handset is close to a launch.
