Microsoft appears to have come to terms with the non-existent place of Windows 10 in the smartphone software race, announcing a range of features that will help your Windows PC better integrate with Android and iOS.

Powered by technology the company is calling Microsoft Graph, the new features will allow the history of everything you do to live in the cloud, and be accessible to you even as you switch devices. The features are expected to be added to Windows 10 in an update later this year.

Timeline, seen here on a Windows PC, keeps a history of your activity across different apps and devices.

One of the most intriguing of the features is Timeline, which shows you a chronological list of everything you've done, for example apps you used, documents you edited, music you listened to or sites you visited. The idea is that you can scroll through and see what you were doing earlier, even if you were doing it on a different device.

Timeline integrates with another feature that also has an incredibly literal name, Pick Up Where You Left Off. As you might have guessed, this automatically saves progress to the cloud for compatible apps, so your Windows device and mobile always have the most up to date version of your work.
