- Windows 11 gets a new Cross Device CV function
- Just like Apple’s Handoff option, it is to use apps via a telephone and PC
- In this case it will connect a Windows 11 -PC and Android telephone, whereby Microsoft shows the function on Build 2025
There is good news for this Windows 11 Users who are jealous of convenience Apple‘s Handoff function with which you can seamlessly resume what you last did in apps when you switch between iOS and Mac devices.
Microsoft has this functionality income, so that a similar way of working in Windows 11 can work Android -SmartphonesAs is apparent from a session of Build 2025 that was uploaded to YouTube.
When Windows Central ReportsThe demonstration of ‘Cross Device CV’ in Windows 11 is removed from the YouTube Clip, with Microsoft who edits the video to switch it off.
Fortunately, the well -known leaker on X, PhantomofeRarth, managed to make a screenshot of the deleted demo that you can see below.

It showed how Cross Device CV works with Spotify, starts with a song that plays on an Android smartphone and then to one Windows 11 PC.
After the Windows 11 -office magazine has switched, the Spotify app is marked with a telephone icon in the taskbar, and when it is driven, it offers a CV option to keep playing the track where the user listened to on their Android device.
It is resumed from the exact place where you stayed on your mobile, as you would expect.
Analysis: Project CV
So Microsoft apparently works on giving software developers the opportunity to record this Cross Device CV functionality with their apps (for those who naturally make both Android and Windows versions of their products). From the information that is rejected here, it seems that Spotify will use this function and apparently WhatsApp Maybe too.
That assumes that this handoff -double -header will ever make the cut for Windows 11. It is clear that it is not yet completely ready to be broadcast publicly, since Microsoft demonstrated the part of the video that demonstrated the way Cross device displayed. However, it seems like a wise idea to bring this functionality to Microsoft’s Desktop OS – indeed, you may be wondering why this has not been done before.
That is a good question, especially in view of the fact that it is a very useful function, and one Apple has been in Mac users for ten years nowSo Microsoft looks a lot behind the time. Although Windows Central said on, cross-device continuity is something that Monosoft has been playing for a long time since Project Rome came to light for the first time in 2016, although a much larger vision was to work on various devices.
A clear element that must be improved is the name. I hope that Cross Device CV is a temporary indication for the time being, because it is missing a good deal in Snappiness in comparison with transfer. Although it can simply be shortened to resume if the screenshot of the function in action on X is something to enter into.
Interesting is that some sharp Windows 11 viewers rather have a Cross Device CV process in the background of the background of the operating system. This is apparently a way to work on OneDrive files on different devices, so it seems that Microsoft’s plan is to expand this basic work to cover a series of apps are not alone cloud storage service.
