It has always been a tedious task for an iPhone user to exchange photos or videos on Microsoft Windows PCs and mobile.

Now, things are about to get better. Microsoft during the recently concluded Ignite 2022 event revealed that it is bringing improvements to Microsoft Photos that offer a better interface to navigate through the iCloud photo library on just on Windows 11 PCs but also on Xbox consoles-- Series X, Series S, and Xbox One. The new update 2022.31100.9001.0 is being rolled out to all compatible devices.

" Your iCloud Photos will appear alongside photos from other sources in the beautifully redesigned “All Photos” gallery view, as well as on a dedicated page you can access from the side navigation pane," the company said.
