Analysis: an app that’s needed a visual update the most

While Paint and the snipping tool are welcome additions to see a remodel for Windows 11, it’s the photos app that’s needed the biggest priority for an update, mainly due to the demand of users to manage and edit our pictures on the fly on the fly, without using an influential suite from firms such as Adobe.

But its user interface hardly changes since its introduction in Windows 8, with its font and icons being restructured for the windows 10 look. However, it’s a favorable start for photos in windows 11, making it, even more, easier for the most casual user to edit a bunch of pictures at once.

Photos have always been a simple but dependable app, irrespective of its old-fashioned look. With this fresh look, it could make it even more manageable to new users who just want to manage their folders of Simpsons memes with even more effortless, once windows 11 launches later this year.
