Revamped Photos App in Windows 11: Exciting New Features!

Windows 11 is still very much a work in progress. Microsoft just revealed that the Photos app, which initially appeared in Windows 10, is the next component to be revamped.

A new update is being released to Windows 11 insiders in the Canary and Dev channels, which includes an enhanced Photos app with some exciting new features. One of the standout features is the new Slideshow function that enables users to create slideshows of their cherished memories, similar to Google Photos. Alternatively, the app can create its own slideshows. Furthermore, a new scrollbar has been added to make it easier to scroll down to specific dates and times, allowing users to easily access memories from that time period.

The Photos app now also boasts some of the magic editing features of Google Photos. A new "Spot Fix" feature allows users to make light touch-ups to their photos directly from the app. They can remove any unwanted blemishes or areas in the photos by using the brush over the desired area, and the app fixes it seamlessly, like magic.

There have been numerous minor adjustments made, and it is highly recommended that you review the complete changelog. Additionally, if you are an Insider involved in either of the two branches that are currently receiving the update, you can access it immediately. However, it may take several weeks or even months before the update is available to all users.
