  "account": "Microsoft is currently testing a new feature that aims to provide a more streamlined way to preview Android phone notifications on Windows 11. This functionality is part of the Phone Link-related experience and is gradually being rolled out to Windows Insiders. The new capability allows users to hover over recent messages or notifications within the Phone Companion section on the Start menu, which will display additional details without the need to physically interact with their Android device. This preview is designed to offer users a quick glance at their notifications, reducing the necessity to pick up their phone or open the message to check for updates.",
