Microsoft shared the notes for the latest update on the Xbox site to details how the new “View on Mobile” feature works. It’s a simple feature that’ll make the app much more handy when you want to be doing something on your Xbox but want to handle something on the app that’ll be more intuitive to that platform like chatting with friends.
“Users will notice a new option to ‘View on Mobile’ to complete certain actions in the Guide,” Microsoft’s notes for the update explained. When selected, a notification will be sent to the users’ phone (if they have the Xbox App installed) to complete the action.”
The image below was shared to show what that new feature will look like in the menu. It’s a small change, but it’s one that better connects the app to the console interface and should allow players to have an easier time starting a process on the console and finishing it on the app if the feature is available. Microsoft did not detail all the scenarios in which this feature can be used, but the most apparent advantages of it should be felt when chatting with friends or using the console’s other social features.
Aside from that new feature, the Xbox update included some more fixes for bugs players may have been experiencing. Those fixes deployed in the update can be found below.
