There is always something new whenever a Windows update is launched. The latest offering is a new feature called My People. There are always some people in your contact list with whom you communicate daily or even hourly. To remain in touch, this feature will help you rapidly send an emoji, file, message or any other form of media in just few simple clicks. Here are the things you can do with this latest feature introduced during Windows update.
It allows quick access to the top people
This feature allows you to pin the people you often communicate with. This is a convenient feature to get one-click access via apps like Skype and Mail. You just need to tap or click on your pinned contact and chat through Skype or send an email without opening the apps.
People-first Sharing
Sharing was never so easy before. You just need to drag a file straight onto one of your pinned contact in taskbar. Another way to sharing is through ‘Share’ picker. You can choose amongst the top contacts in your recommended list.
View emoji sent by pinned contact
The emoji sent by your pinned contact can become visible and animate straight from taskbar. This enables an extra alignment of emotional link and expression amongst you and all the important people in your life.
