New Update Microsoft may be reviving the People app in Windows 11

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Microsoft first introduced the People app in Windows 8. It was intended to be both an address book and a social app for users. In addition to Microsoft (Outlook and Skype) accounts, it allowed users to add their social media accounts, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Sina Weibo, to bring all their contacts together and keep track of their latest updates, tweets, and pictures in one place.

Over time, due to changes from Facebook and others, it lost social media integration. On Windows 10, the app offered integration with Skype alone. From 2021, the People app lost the ability to be launched directly (for example, through the Start Menu or search bar). Users were only able to launch it through the People icons in Mail, Calendar, and other apps. Since Microsoft is phasing out the native Mail and Calendar apps on Windows, it seems like the company is now working on a new People app.

The setup file for the new Microsoft People preview app was leaked online today. It weighs only around 2.6MB, which indicates that it is just a web app wrapper. When installed, the new People preview app is available for launch from the Start menu and can also be pinned to the Taskbar.

Microsoft lost its way with Windows 11, I can understand it when user change his mind about removing a product then reinstall it again, in the end it is one person with one opinion which may affected by any external reviews or other opinions, but when it comes to a big tech company it must remove a product based on a deep study to all factors, but with Windows 11 Microsoft remove feature then re add it again, remove product and reinstall it again, I'm not sure what kind of business is this!

I hate when companies invent something new that no one wants to use, then remove it for same reasons and then relaunch it again after some time. I didn't use it then, I won't use it now.
