Microsoft has added two new features to their popular Your Phone remote phone access app on Windows 10.
The first is available to everyone and features a new addition to the Right-Click Menu when viewing photos on your phone in the desktop app. Users are now able to save photos directly from the app instead of having to copy and paste or drag and drop them into another app first.
We added another handy option to the right-click menu for photos in #YourPhone app. In addition to copy & share you can now save a photo directly into your PC! What else would you like us see add to the app? Submit your suggestions in Feedback Hub! pic.twitter.com/yx68KEZqH1

The second feature is only for Insiders for now, and will now tag your SMS messages with contact photos if those are available on your phone.
You asked for it #WindowsInsiders We have now started rolling out contact pictures in #YourPhone . So if you have photos assigned to your contacts on your Android phone you'll see those same photos for them in the app. pic.twitter.com/6k57KaRtcB

Update: Microsoft is slowly tricking out the changelog and has revealed another feature.
That is interactive notifications, meaning you can reply to text messages without opening the Your Phone app.
#WindowsInsiders one more feature for you that we have added to messages in #YourPhone : Inline reply! You can now reply to your text messages from the notification without having to open the app
