[br]Replying to text messages directly and inline from notifications displayed on PCs is rolling out this week for Windows 10 Insiders as Microsoft's Director of Program Management Microsoft Mobile eXperiences Vishnu Nath announced today.[br][br]The new SMS inline reply feature is designed to allow Your Phone users to reply to text messages without having to open the app first. [br][br]Cold replying to SMS notifications is something that the Your Phone team has been working on for a while now and was expected to be added real soon as Nath said during late-April. [br][br][br][br]

[br]As described by Microsoft Senior Program Manager Analy Otero Diaz yesterday, the Your Phone app now comes with an Emoji button designed to make it easier to add emojis into text for people who don't know about the " Windows + . " keyboard shortcut.[br][br]Microsoft is also rolling out Your Phone contact pictures to Windows Insiders this week and, as Diaz tweeted, works by automatically assigning the contact photos from the Android device's address book to the contacts showing in the app.[br][br][br]

[br]As Diaz said, the new contact pictures feature started rolling out at the beginning of this week, with some Insiders already having received the update.[br][br]Last week, Microsoft also added phone to PC notifications syncing with per-application configuration capabilities which allow users to see phone notifications in real-time on their desktop, customize which alerts they want to be synced to the PC.[br][br]The just-added notification syncing feature makes it possible for users to view all phone alerts in one place, as well as clear their notifications either individually or all at once.[br][br][br]

[br]As Microsoft details on Your Phone app's help page, Insiders need "a mobile phone running Android 7.0 (Nougat) or later" with at least 1GB of RAM and a computer running Windows builds 1803 (RS4) or newer to be able to take advantage of the newly released features.[br][br][br]Microsoft's Your Phone app was introduced during the Build developer conference which took place in May 2018, delivered to Insiders last year on July 31 with the launch of the Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17728 (Redstone 5) release, and officially demoed as part of the October 2018 Surface event.[br][br]A full update line for the Your Phone app is available HERE, showing how after being launched it was only capable of accessing and transferring photos, while later on Microsoft added support for sending text messages and for mirroring their Android devices' screens on a Windows 10 PC.[br][br][br][br]#Infinix_India.....
