It's always been a pain for Apple iPhone owners to browse through photos on iCloud storage on Windows devices.
The prayers have been finally answered, as Microsoft has begun rolling out the new Windows 11 update to PCs that offers the option to integrate the native Photos app with the iCloud Photos library. However, users have to install a separate iCloud app on Microsoft Store on the PC.
Then, users have to update their Microsoft Photos app to the latest version. And, users need to sign in and choose to sync their photos, and all the iCloud Photos content will appear automatically in the native Photos app.
"It is our aspiration that experiences like this make the things you do every day easier than ever. This announcement is a reflection of our commitment to deliver continuous innovation in Windows to inspire and empower you. As promised, we will continue to announce, document, and deliver new features and experiences when they are ready," said Dave Grochocki, Principal Product Manager Lead, Windows Inbox Apps.
The new update for the Microsoft Photos app is being rolled out in phases and will reach all PCs by the end of November.
