Android Apps in Windows 11
Just like Microsoft brought Windows Subsystem for Linux on community’s demand, it’s now bringing the Windows Subsystem for Android to Windows 11. Once this is life, we shall have the long-awaited android apps support on our PCs, making our lives easier. The company announced that this support will not be available in Windows 11 out-of-the-box package, and will be coming later. And making this true, Microsoft published documentation for guiding developers to bring their Android apps on Windows 11.

But, we hope to see it soon, given that the developer documentation for onboarding apps is out now. Microsoft bringing support for Android apps is a big move and is necessary to keep the Windows ecosystem alive. For a long, users are forced to use third-party emulators for running Android apps on Windows PCs. And with native support now, we shall see more productivity flowing through the works.
