Here's a First Look at Microsoft's New Windows 11 Photos App.

Panos Panay, Microsoft's Chief Product Officer, has been teasing new future features and a redesigned appearance of different system programs as the firm prepares to release the public version of Windows 11 on October 5. Panay recently demonstrated the new Paint program that will be included in Windows 11. And now he's provided the first glimpse at Windows 11's revamped Photos app.

Panay recently tweeted a link to a brief video demonstrating the new Photos app that will be included in Windows 11. The Microsoft executive demonstrated some of the redesigned Photos app's substantial design improvements in the video. You may see the tweet directly below.


As you can see, the new Photos app in Windows 10 is considerably cleaner and more complex than the previous one. When you open a picture in the forthcoming version, unlike the present Photos app, it only shows the image, with no extra tools or settings. The extra UIs appear when you hover the mouse pointer over the image.

A new carousel at the bottom of the page displays all of your photos. You may also choose several pictures from the bottom bar, which will be shown in the same window by the new Photos app.

Furthermore, instead of the present Photos app's static toolbar at the top, the new version adds a floating toolbar with more options to the top center. There's also a new info button that reveals all of an image's information with a single click. Furthermore, if an image contains geotagging data, the new Photos app will show the location on a tiny map on the right side of the image.

When it comes to the new Photos app's availability, Panay says it will begin rolling out to Windows Insiders soon. Insiders, on the other hand, are still waiting for the redesigned Paint app that was previously shown off. As a result, we can anticipate Microsoft releasing both updated applications in a future Windows Insiders Dev channel upgrade.
