Microsoft made several announcements about Windows 11 at its live digital event. Perhaps the most significant was the one that revealed that Windows 11 would now be able to run and manage Android apps.
On first hearing this, some might think that Windows 10 has had this feature for some time, but that is not quite the case. Windows 11 will now be able to run exactly the same apps as Android devices.
With this new feature in Microsoft's upcoming Windows release, users will stay connected to the apps they love and make the most of them with all the capabilities and convenience a computer offers. Android apps will be available through the Windows Store in Windows 11, and connectivity with Android devices will use Intel Bridge technology.
To make using them even more appealing, Microsoft is offering the option to display app windows in a range of sizes and shapes. Users will also be able to pin them to the side or split the screen in half, giving them the best possible app experience. Android apps are coming to Windows 11 through Microsoft's partnership with Amazon.
This means Amazon App Store users will be able to find all their apps both in Amazon's Store and in the Microsoft Store on their computer. The company demonstrated TikTok as an example, showing how smoothly it runs on Windows 11, which will of course also be the case for other Android apps.
Windows 11 is expected to be released towards the end of 2021, although Microsoft has not yet officially announced a date.
