The week’s update to the beta versions of the iOS and Android Xbox apps added two new features relating toXbox Onevideo game screenshots and video clips; the ability to share directly to social media from within the app and the ability to download media locally to an iOS or Android smart device.

Currently, clips can only be shared to the Xbox activity feed or sent as an Xbox Live message to other users and the ability to actually download clips with the app has never been a possibility even though it has frequently been one of the most-requested features.

The Xbox beta apps are used to test new features for bugs and glitches with a smaller audience before rolling them out to the general userbase with the regulariOSandAndroidXbox apps. With testing of these features having now begun, it’s likely they’ll come to the public apps sometime over the next few months.

The ability to download apps is already possible within the Windows 10 Xbox app. As is social sharing, though only to Twitter.

Are you excited for these new features or is there something else you’ve been waiting for? Let us know in the comments below and thenfollow us on Pinterest for more Xbox gaming content.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
