The new Start menu is significantly larger and wider than the current one and it features a separate panel for the Phone Link app—which Microsoft refers to as a “phone companion in Start”—where users can have quick access to data and tools from a synced Android or iPhone.

Microsoft has officially announced its new Start menu experience for Windows 11, which features a new, more customizable layout and deeper integration with Windows Phone Link. The new Start menu first leaked last month, revealing that the company was working on a unified layout that combined the all apps list with the main Start menu interface.

Windows 11 is getting new Start menu, Notepad upgrades, AI upgrades in Paint, AI actions in File Explorer, and a lot more.
