Photos app for Windows 11

If you want to discover them, you need to update the Photos application to version 2023.11090.13001.0. The list of new features includes an option to blur the background.

This allows you to emphasize the subject of a photo. To do this, simply open the recording in edit mode and select the Background Blur option.
The search function for photos stored in a OneDrive account supports content search.
Photos – Research is getting richer
This makes it possible to select wishes such as car, beach, birthday and even vacation.
However, the company explains
If you’re new to OneDrive or have never used OneDrive’s photo search before, search may not work right away because OneDrive processes photos. If you don’t see any search results, come back in a few hours and try again.
It is also possible to search for photos based on where they were taken. This feature is available for all photos in the collection, including photos stored in file systems, OneDrive, and iCloud.
Finally, Photos can now display the video portion of “Motion Photos” taken on Samsung and Google devices.
There is something more to all this
- Touch support for slideshow. The user can swipe left and right to easily navigate to the next photo in their slideshow.
- The Edit and Create Video options are easily accessible at the top of the gallery view.
- Fixed the issue where you had to restart the app to see iCloud Photos.
