Microsoft today announced that iCloud Photos integration into the Photos app on Windows 11 is starting to roll out today with an app update on the Microsoft Store. Microsoft expects the update to be available to all Windows 11 customers by the end of the month.


iCloud Photos integration allows iPhone users to access all of their photos in the Photos app on Windows 11 devices. In a blog post, Microsoft says users simply need to download the iCloud app to Windows from the Microsoft Store, turn on iCloud Photos sync and photos will automatically appear in the updated Photos app.

Microsoft previously announced that the standalone Apple Music and Apple TV apps will come to Windows next year. Currently, Windows users must access the Apple TV+ streaming service on the web at tv.apple.com, while Apple Music is available on the web or in the older iTunes app for Windows. Microsoft said previews of both apps will be available on the Microsoft Store starting later this year.

Last month, the Apple Music app launched on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One.
