Microsoft continues to work on enhancing the user experience of Windows 11, and one area receiving attention is the snap suggestions feature. A recent preview build has provided a glimpse of how this interface element could evolve in the future.
Twitter user PhantomOfEarth, known for sharing Microsoft leaks, utilized ViVeTool to uncover the functionality and appearance of smart snap suggestions in Windows 11. The video clip shared in the tweet showcases the snapping process and tooltips functioning properly, indicating progress in this aspect of the interface.
For those unfamiliar with snap layouts, it is a feature that allows users to easily arrange multiple apps in various layouts on the screen. Snap suggestions offer predefined templates for these arrangements. In the preview build (23493 in the Dev channel), Microsoft has added icons to the snap flyout, making it easier to identify the apps associated with each suggested layout.
The ongoing work in build 23493 includes significant developments such as the introduction of Windows Copilot, although the AI functionality is still in its early stages. Additionally, improvements have been made to the Settings app, which now functions as an app itself.
This glimpse of the progressing snap suggestions feature is promising, showcasing a sleek and intuitive design even in its early stage. It’s important to note that features under testing are subject to change, and Microsoft is currently evaluating different layout arrangements to determine the optimal approach for snap suggestions.
While there’s always a chance that features being tested may not make it to the final release, snap suggestions seem to be a likely inclusion in Windows 11. Microsoft has been actively refining snap layouts, indicating its commitment to enhancing multitasking capabilities in the operating system.
As development continues, users can anticipate further improvements to the user interface and overall user experience in Windows 11.
