  • Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26227 introduces AI-powered replies for texts in the Phone Link for Android app.
  • The feature is on by default and relies on the cloud to generate three relevant replies whenever a message is received.
  • The build also includes some other additions, such as Emoji 15.1 support and a new Copilot keyboard shortcut for older machines.

Microsoft has been embracing AI and deeply integrating it into its products. It recently unveiled the Copilot Plus PCs, and now it’s baking its artificial smarts further into the Windows software. The latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build on the Canary Channel adds AI-generated replies to the Phone Link for Android app and tweaks the Copilot shortcut on some machines.
