It’s been a long time since Microsoft introduced significant changes to the Surface app. The last update that brought new features to the app landed in November last year. In Microsoft’s defense, monthly feature updates may not be required for an app designed to give customization options to control your Surface accessories from your PC.
If you have the Surface app installed on your PC, you can visit the Microsoft Store and check for updates, and the latest version will show up. Alternatively, you can open the Microsoft Store directly from here to update the app.
