The upcoming Windows 11 update, which weirdly doesn't have an official name, brings the new Bing experience to the search box on the taskbar. It offers the ChatGPT-powered conversational search experience to all Windows 11 users. Moreover, with the updated Windows Phone Link app, iPhone users can pair their phone with a Windows 11 computer and reply to texts, answer or make calls, and check the iPhone's battery charge level.

Special features for Samsung Galaxy phone users

For Samsung users, Windows Phone Link will make things even easier. They can start a Wi-Fi hotspot on their Galaxy smartphone or tablet directly from the paired PC. Additionally, they can browse the recent website they browsed on their phone and open them on a paired Windows 11 PC or Galaxy Book laptop.

Look better and sound clearer on your video calls

Windows 11 Studio Effects

With the Windows Studio Effects feature, Galaxy Book users can use AI-enhanced video calling features such as eye contact correction, automatic framing, background blur, and voice focus. These features can be accessed directly from the Action Center. The Microsoft Teams-based Chat experience is also getting better. With the new pop-up window from the taskbar, users can see messages, preview their own video, jump into calls, and share call links.

You can also get help from others or help others using the Quick Assist app. You can share your screen with others or control their Windows 11 PC in case they need any help with their computer. There's also a laser pointer to highlight elements on the screen to make it easier to guide people with their Windows 11 computer.
