The Windows Insider Program gives more advanced users a chance to test out new and upcoming features before they roll out to all users. Sometimes, these advanced test versions of the operating system can be packed with problems but in others, they offer insiders the chance to try and cool and handy new features before everybody else. That is what happening here as we have a nice new Windows 11 feature to report on for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Windows Insider Build 22622.290<\/a> comes loaded with a new feature that will make it easier and quicker to perform certain simple tasks<\/strong> by prompting you with little inline action buttons when you perform certain actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new inline menus will show up when you cop a date, time, or phone number<\/strong>. Doing so will cause Windows to prompt you with certain actions such as creating a calendar event for the date or time or making a phone call to the phone number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windows outlines both features and you can see examples of what they look like in the screenshot above:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn copying a phone number, Windows will pop up an inline light dismissible UI that suggests ways to call the phone number using Teams or other installed apps that offer click-to-dial call functions.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On copying a future date and\/or time, Windows will pop up an inline light dismissible UI that suggests creating the event using supported calendar apps. Upon user selection of preference, the app is launched with its corresponding calendar event creation page with auto-filled date and\/or time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, the feature is available for Windows Insider users in the US, Canada, and Mexico<\/strong> but we don\u2019t have any news about when we can expect to see it roll out to all users. Depending on the results of the Insider Program tests, though maybe it will roll out with Windows 11\u2019s first major update, Sun Valley 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
