#windows subsystem for android

Microsoft is now testing Android apps on Windows 11. A preview version of Windows Subsystem for Android is now available for beta testers and will provide access to apps from the Amazon Appstore. Only beta testers with Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm processors will be allowed to try Android apps on Windows 11. Android apps will run in a window like any other app and can be used simultaneously with other Windows programs. There are currently 50 apps for Windows Insiders to test on Windows 11 today. Reading apps like Kindle are also now available to test in the Windows Subsystem for Android program. Microsoft has started rolling out an upgraded Android app mirroring experience on Windows 11, allowing users to view Android apps using nearly the entire desktop screen through the Phone Link app. While the experience isn’t fully edge-to-edge yet, leaving a small portion of the desktop unused, it significantly improves multitasking for users who rely on Android apps alongside Windows workflows.
