After the AI boom, Microsoft has been adding easy-to-use AI features to many of its system apps, including a new Copilot in the upcoming Windows 11 23H2 update. Among them, Microsoft Paint brings a “background removal” tool that seamlessly isolates the background from the subject. It works remarkably well, and the process is instant. You no longer need to rely on online services to remove background from images. So if you want to learn how to use Windows 11 Paint app’s background removal tool, here are the steps to follow.

1. First, open the Microsoft Store on Windows 11.

2. Search for “Paint” and install any pending updates. You should be on Paint version 11.2306.30.0 or later.

Palmsy is a new app in the block that aims to be a social media detox app by 'forging' the experience. It does so by faking the likes you get on your posts on the platform. Super strange and unique, right? That's what got me too, and I just had to give it a try. I will say this, the app certainly has its own weird way to getting you to validate yourself.
