I found this intriguing Microsoft Edge feature because of a bug in my X feed

Microsoft Edge icon on an iPhone.

This morning as I sat down to check the news, I saw a strange post in my X feed. At first glance, it looked like an interesting Microsoft Edge feature that was in testing. But I quickly realized that the post was from 2023. I'm not sure why X showed me that post within my "Following" feed that's sorted chronologically. I thought there was a chance that a more recent post within a thread may have pushed the original content up, but that does not seem to be the case.

Regardless of why I saw the feature in action, the option intrigued me. First shipped in February 2024, "Mobile upload" allows you to upload images from your phone and use those pictures on your desktop. The feature lets you bring photos you took on your phone or other images you've saved to your PC without having to send them to yourself or wait for OneDrive to back up your files. Leo Varela first spotted the feature and shared screenshots of it in action while it was in testing in 2023.
