Windows 11 Beta Testers Can Now Download Android Apps Through Microsoft Store

Windows 11 beta testers can now install Android applications on their systems directly through the Microsoft Store. The new experience was launched a few months after Microsoft promised to introduce Android application support to Windows 11. Beta testers using AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm processor-based Windows PCs can test Android applications. Microsoft claims that running Android applications and games on Windows 11 will have a familiar experience, because users will be able to use the new Snap Layouts feature to run them side by side, or pin any of them to the start menu. Android applications are also integrated into the Alt + Tab function and task view, allowing users to move back and forth between applications-just like how they move between regular Windows applications.

Initially, Microsoft planned 50 Android applications for Windows 11 beta testers, who were part of the Windows Insider program. These include mobile games such as Lords Mobile, June’s Journey and Coin Master, as well as applications such as Kindle, Khan Academy Kids and Lego Duplo World.
Compared with Google Play, which has nearly 3.5 million applications, the number of 50 Android applications used for beta testing on Windows 11 is indeed insignificant. Amazon Appstore is essentially a bridge to enable Android application support on Windows 11. It also has more than 460,000 Android applications.

Microsoft has integrated the Amazon Appstore in the Microsoft Store, allowing users to download and install Android applications on Windows 11 computers. The company also claims that the experience of running Android applications and games on the latest Windows operating system will be as smooth as running native applications. This means that users will be able to interact with Android applications via mouse, touch, or pen input, and run them side by side using the Snap Layouts feature, pinning them to the start menu or taskbar.

Notifications from Android apps installed on your Windows 11 PC will also be displayed in the action center—just like the way you get notifications from native Windows apps. Similarly, clipboard data can be shared between Windows applications and Android applications.

“We considered accessibility when building the experience; many Windows accessibility settings apply to Android applications, and we are working with Amazon to provide more improvements,” the Windows team said in a blog post.
