This is one of the useful parts of the launcher. Feed screen is a screen just like the home screen. You can add different widgets to it and you remove any widgets. Some useful widgets are sticky notes that can be used to add reminders or important text things we need frequently. Next, We can add widgets showing recently used apps, recently opened documents, screen time, calendar. Also, the feed screen has a timeline view that contains a record of your daily activities just like history it contains data about the website you visit and documents you worked and opened. But the important thing to note is that daily activities are shown for only Microsoft android apps like Edge browser and Microsoft office.
