Microsoft is releasing an update to Windows 11 that includes access to its Bing chatbot for certain users.
The operating system update also adds iOS support to the Phone Link app, allowing iPhone users to send and receive calls and messages on Windows 11 devices.
Through the update, Microsoft users who have pre-existing access to the Bing chatbot will be able to use it directly in a Windows 11 search bar.
- The Bing app will be available in the search bar within the user's taskbar, letting them converse with the bot without needing to use the Edge web browser.
- In addition, the update will enable iPhone users to link their devices to Windows 11 via Bluetooth radio.
- The new "Phone Link for iOS" allows public Apple users to send and receive text messages, including iMessages, as well as calls and notifications inside Windows 11.
The Windows 11 update also includes improvements to the widgets system, built-in Teams experience, and Notepad, which is getting tabs for the first time.
- Some of the features are available today. They are expected to roll out fully in the March 2023 monthly security update scheduled for March 14.
