Microsoft to bring Android apps to Windows 11 with Amazon's Appstore

Microsoft is bringing Android apps in its new Windows 11 with Amazon's Appstore. 


Microsoft is bringing Android apps to Windows 11. The software giant revealed its surprise Windows 11 addition during its special Windows event. Android apps will run natively on Windows 11 and will be downloadable from Amazon's Appstore, via the new Windows store that's included in the operating system.

Microsoft says it's using Amazon's Appstore to bring Android apps to Windows 11. Apps will be listed in the new Windows store, and Microsoft is also partnering with Intel to use its Intel Bridge technology to make this a reality. Android apps on Windows 11 can be pinned to the taskbar or snapped alongside traditional Windows apps.

Android apps on Windows 11 are an obvious answer to Apple's progress with its M1 chips and running iOS apps on macOS. While there are many web equivalents to mobile apps like Snapchat, Ring, Venmo, Roomba, and the majority of home automation apps aren't available on the web.

Microsoft showed apps like TikTok running on Windows 11 today. The Windows store that Microsoft showed lists Ring, Yahoo, Uber, and others, so we’ll likely see full access to Amazon’s Appstore. It’s not immediately clear how many existing devices will support Android apps with Windows 11, as hardware will need to support Intel Bridge technology.
