These options complement already existing features that allow access to the smartphone's battery status, messages, calls, and photos from the Start menu, whether for Android or iOS smartphones.
These new features have been added to the Dev and Beta channels, respectively, KB5044388 and KB5044386, for Windows 11.
The Start menu also allows you to add custom widgets to each side of the menu, two at a time. Any application can create an accompanying JSON file. This ensures extensive customization reminiscent of Windows 10's dynamic tiles.
In parallel with these improvements, Microsoft is testing other features such as a countdown, a clock timer, or even key additions. Co-pilot Which will supply the keyboard for future computers.
