The integration of iCloud Photos into Windows 11 is beginning to be rolled out. An update to the Photos app in Windows 11 will allow you to link an iCloud Photos library straight into the built-in Windows Photos app.

Windows 11 users will need to update their Photos app from the Microsoft Store and then install an iCloud for Windows app from the Store and choose which photos or libraries automatically sync to the Photos app.

Dave Grochocki, principal product manager lead for Microsoft's Windows inbox apps, says that many Windows customers want to view their photo and video collections on their PC. It will be easier for people with an Apple device to have direct access to their cherished memories in one place with the integration of the iCloud Photos.

The Photos app update for Windows 11 includes a new gallery view that offers a different way to browse through your photos. Both Apple Music and Apple TV will be coming to Windows soon, thanks to Microsoft and Apple working together.
