Thank you for reading the news about technology: Microsoft rolls out a new update to the Xbox app, similar to Instagram and now with the details
Cairo – Samia Sayed – Microsoft is rolling out an update to the Xbox app for iOS and Android that includes a new social sharing feature, according to an engadged report.
Players will be able to share screenshots, gameplay clips, and achievements with their friends and others as Instagram or Snapchat-style stories, and you’ll be able to reply to others’ stories with a reaction or message as well.
You’ll find the stories on the app’s home screen. To share a clip, screenshot, or achievement, access the channel, tap the plus sign on your player tag and choose what you want to post from the gallery, and you’ll be able to add a comment before sharing your story.
And while Instagram and Snapchat stories usually disappear after 24 hours, Xbox Stories will be available for 72 hours, which means your friends are more likely to see your updates, as long as they can distance themselves from the new Halo Infinite season long enough.
Another new feature for Xbox consoles as part of the May update, Microsoft calls Quality of Service (QoS) tags, and says this is a way to prioritize “latency-sensitive outbound network traffic such as group chat, console streaming, and multiplayer.”
The company says this feature can help preserve your gaming experience amid connectivity issues on crowded networks.
You can also manage QoS tags in the Settings app, after selecting the General option, go to Network settings and then Advanced settings, and then you will see the QoS tags settings.
DSCP tagging is enabled at the IPv4 and IPv6 packet level and works on both wired and wireless connections, and WMM tagging operates at the wireless packet level and is active only on Wi-Fi connections.
These updates are now available in Australia, and Microsoft says they will reach other regions soon.
