Microsoft’s Panos Panay teased the new Windows 11 Photos app last week. At the time, Panay said that the app would ship to Insider soon. That time appears to be now, as some Insiders on Reddit have received the new Photos app.
The Windows 11 Photos app will look familiar to anyone that’s used its Windows 10 sibling, but there are some notable changes. The image viewer within the app has a carousel view. The app lets you select multiple images, allowing you to view photos side-by-side. There’s also a floating toolbar at the top of the app, which includes shortcuts for editing and saving an image. The app also has rounded corners, making it align with the look of Windows 11.
The app now has icons next to the options that appear in its ellipsis menu. The bottom of that menu states that you can “edit photos like a pro” by getting advanced photo editing extensions from the Microsoft Store.
The new Photos app appears to be rolling out gradually, so you may not see it at this time. You can, however, download it manually, thanks to Deskmodder. Using that link forces the Photos app to update to its Windows 11 version. Alternatively, you can just wait to try it out. Windows 11 is set to come out in a few weeks on October 5, 2021.

Don’t have TPM support? Try one of these motherboard modules.
If your PC somehow does not have trusted platform module (TPM) support through firmware and your UEFI BIOS, we’d recommend checking your motherboard manual for a TPM header. If you have one present, you can try to see if one of these will be compatible to get you ready for Windows 11.
