Surface Duo now supports handwriting in email

One of the standout features of the original Surface Duo was support for the Surface Pen, but Microsoft was slow to add support for this feature in system apps on the device.

As a result, Surface Duo and Duo 2 owners will be hosting a Thanksgiving gift from Microsoft today after the company released inking support in the Outlook for Android app.

This feature is available in version 4.2145.1 of the app, is currently rolling out, and is available via the pen tool icon when creating a new email.

Users can write, highlight and erase in various colors and thicknesses. Users can also expand the canvas to full screen for more complex creations and can create multiple sketches for each email.

Users can use the same toolbox to mark up photos in the OneDrive app.

You can find the Outlook for Android app in the Store here.
