Microsoft says that it has designed the app primarily with students in mind. The Photos Companion app is meant to make it easier for users to transfer all or selected photos and videos from the phone to PCs, notebooks and tablets running Windows 10. The new app is available on both Android and iOS, and can be downloaded from the App Store and the Play Store. The latest one is called ‘Photos Companion’ which Microsoft has been in testing for several months. What app would you consider essential to Windows 10?

Reports suggest that the app will soon be in the hands of Windows 10 testers, and after that should be released into the wild, likely cropping up in a Windows 10 update and on Apple’s App Store and the Google Play Store. But the upcoming companion app is likely to make this process even slicker. Such a feature is already available with Microsoft’s OneDrive app, which can upload photos from a device to the cloud in the background and allow for them to be imported into the Windows 10 Photos app. But Italian blog Agglomamenti caught a glimpse at a new companion app Microsoft has created that allows for smooth, cable-free photo transfers between Windows PCs and laptops connected to the same network as the Android and iOS devices. Neither options are exactly ideal for rapidly getting pics from mobile devices to PCs. While pulling pics from Android devices requires a bit of file spelunking and some tedious copy and pasting work. Getting photos from iOS often involves digging around in the now rather clunky iTunes desktop app.
Microsoft will make it easier to transfer photos from Android and iOS devices to Windows PCs, thanks to creating a companion app to support rapid photo wrangling over Wi-Fi.
