Android apps support on Windows 11 was probably one of the most highlighted features of the operating system at the time of its launch. However, when the operating system finally arrived, the Android support was completely missing.
A couple of months later, Microsoft started testing the feature and also introduced Amazon AppStore as the prime source of Android apps which at the time of launch only had around 1,000 apps to run on Windows and was only available in the United States.
The latter part appears to change now as the company has now confirmed that they are expanding the Android app support capabilities to five more countries. This includes France
Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom.
Although the company hasn’t provided any exact rollout date, it is confirmed that the feature will arrive in the above-mentioned five countries by the end of the year.
Do note that just like the Windows Android Subsystem, the Amazon App Store is also in the preview phase right now. This means that the product is still under development and it is expected to receive new features and functionality over time.
For those unaware, Microsoft has recently updated the Windows Subsystem for Android to the Android 12.1 aka Android 12L version which is designed to take advantage of bigger screen size.
