Today, we take the next major step forward adding to the incredible breadth and ease of use of the Windows PC by implementing a typable Windows search box and the amazing capability of the new AI-powered Bing directly into the taskbar. Putting all your search needs for Windows in one easy-to-find location.
 
The search box is one of the most widely used features on Windows, with over half a billion users every month, and now with the typable Windows search box and the new AI-powered Bing front and center to this experience you will be empowered to find the answers you’re looking for, faster than ever before.
 
We’re also excited to introduce a host of new features from across the team that will make your everyday easier on Windows 11. For example, you will be able to link your iPhone® mobile device directly to your Windows 11 PC using a new preview of Phone Link for iOS. Additionally, you’ll notice improved touch experiences, full screen widgets, and quick access to the Windows 365 app. Windows 11 also includes new AI features in Start, as well as ongoing updates to make the operating system more accessible and sustainable and delivering on our continued commitment to quality and ease of use across the system and applications. We look forward to hearing your feedback on these new updates.

And with the Recent Websites feature, Samsung users can also now easily transfer their browser sessions from their smartphone to their Windows PC, allowing them to continue browsing effortlessly—a great way to stay in your flow.
