In addition to introducing the new Surface devices, Microsoft has announced an update for the Photos app in Windows 11: iCloud Photos integration. With this, users will be able to sync their iCloud photos directly to their Windows 11 devices.
Microsoft brings iCloud Photos to the Windows 11 Photos App
iCloud Photos will now appear in Windows 11's Photos app alongside photos from your PC and OneDrive. The app has been redesigned to include the new "All Photos" gallery view to access all media. There is also a dedicated section available on the side navigation pane.
Microsoft has started rolling out the new update with the new Photos app ((version 2022.31100.9001.0) to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel. If you are an Insider, you can easily sync your iCloud Photos to Windows 11 but first you have to sign in into the iCloud app for Windows 11. This update is expected to reach general users in the coming months.
Apple has also partnered with Microsoft for a few more integrations. It is revealed that the Apple Music and Apple TV apps will be available in the Microsoft Store next year. Apple Music is also available on Xbox consoles in addition to Spotify and Pandora music streaming apps.
