News agency ANI quoted Verge stating that Microsoft said it is using Amazon Appstore in order to bring Android apps to Windows 11. The apps will be listed in the new Window Store. Furthermore, Microsoft is also partnering with Intel to use its Intel Bridge technology to make this a reality. The Android Apps on Windows 11 can be pinned to the task bar or snapped alongside traditional Windows apps.
The ANI report further stated that the Android apps on Windows 11 are an obvious answer to Apple’s progress with its M1 chips and running iOS apps on macOS. In spite of the fact that there are many web counterparts for mobile apps, most of the time they are lack luster and additionally certain apps like Snapchat, Ring, Venmo, Roomba, and the majority of home automation apps are not available on the web.
During the launch event, Microsoft demonstrated apps like TikTok running on Windows 11. The Windows store that Microsoft showed listed Ring, Yahoo, Uber, and others, so we’ll likely see full access to Amazon’s Appstore. However, it is not immediately clear how well many existing devices will support Android apps with Windows 11, as Microsoft is pushing its support of Intel Bridge technology as the favored way to run these apps.
This surprise announcement follows Microsoft’s original plans to let Windows developers rework their existing Android apps for Windows in 2015. Project Astoria, as Microsoft labeled it, was a method to try to convince developers to port apps and make it easier to do so.
The American tech giant had been toying toying with the idea of running Android apps on Windows natively for years, and the company had been experimenting with the idea of listing Android apps in the Windows store just ahead of the Windows 10 launch. Instead, Microsoft pushed ahead trying to convince developers to adopt its failed Universal Windows Platform.
This Android app integration directly into Windows is a significant shift, especially as the company has been favoring several methods to bridge the gap between Android and Windows.
