Published on

Windows 11 includes several multitasking tools to make your work fast and feel smoother. One new feature is called Resume. With the newest Windows 11 update, you can start a task on one device, like your PC, then finish it on another device, like on your phone.

How Resume feature Works in Windows 11

In Windows 11, Resume works in a way that feels like Apple’s Handoff feature. On Apple devices, Handoff lets you begin an activity on one device, for instance on iPhone, later you can pick it up on a nearby device, such as a Mac or iPad.

Microsoft’s Resume feature lets you start something on a phone or tablet, then you can move to a PC and keep going. You can also do it the other way around. At the moment, the feature works only with Microsoft OneDrive.

Microsoft is rolling out Resume in stages, so it could take a few weeks before everyone gets it. If you want to use it, update your Windows 11 system to the most recent version.
