- Microsoft recently showed off a demo for a feature called “Cross Device Resume.”
- This feature allows you to continue where you left off in an app when you want to switch from your phone to your PC.
- Spotify and WhatsApp appear to support this feature.
As you may know, Apple has a handy app continuation feature called “Handoff.” It allows you to start a task on one device and continue where you left off if you switch to a different device. Microsoft has been working on a similar feature for Windows 11 and Android devices, which it recently showed off in a demo.
According to Windows Central, this feature is called “Cross Device Resume” and a demo for it appeared in a Build 2025 session labeled “Create Seamless Cross-Device Experiences with Windows for your app.” However, the session has since been edited to remove this demo from the video. Fortunately, X (formerly Twitter) user phantomofearth took a screenshot of the feature before the video was changed.
