NOTIFICATIONS
The Your Phone app is still somewhat
hamstrung by device limitations (though
virtually all Microsoft Surface devices can use
it), but it can interact with a small cadre of
phones that now includes the Samsung
Galaxy S10 family, the Note 8 and Note 9,
plus the OnePlus 6 and 6T.WINDOWS INK LINKS TO
THE WHITEBOARD APP
Microsoft’s offered some lovely drawing
apps (remember Fresh Paint! [go.pcworld.
com/frpn]), but Windows Ink is a tool that’s
been ignored as Microsoft focuses onbusiness users.
Now, Windows Ink will link more directly
to the Microsoft Whiteboard app, and also be
able to perform a full-screen screen capture,
or snip.ADD EVENTS RIGHT FROM
THE WINDOWS CALENDAR
FLYOUT
Instead of the need to open the Mail or
Calendar app, you can add to the Calendar
app from the flyout in the bottom right-hand
corner, right near the Action Center
notifications. To be fair, though, the + button
that’s in the same location within the May
2019 Update instantly launches the Calendar
in the New Event screen, so you’re not saving
that much time.
We still have many months to go before
20H1 releases, so stay tuned!
