    Hey everyone! You CAN sideload APK files on Win 11 says a Microsoft engineer. I didn’t have that information at the time of the recording.

    I’m actually happy with that if I could put Android apps on Windows so everything can be ubiquitous and continuity, and soon Windows will unlock universal control format drag and drop files from one Android device to Windows and back to tablet similar to what Apple is doing with mirror universal control.

    Good reporting but a nightmare overall, what about new laptops that are coming out?

    Apple silicon devices are overrated, cannot support external displays, however this is clearly a logical move to try and compete in the software space by MS

    This was a **** move from Windows. Respect your customers and give them play store apps.

      No way google would partner up with Microsoft. It would destroy its Chromebook line up.. be grateful and except what things are… You don’t have to use the amazon app you could just download apk files from google

    It justs needs a Google Play Store, F-Droid, Galaxy Store, Huawei Appgallery, then we’re complete.

    They should have partnered with playstore instead of amazon store

    • Lights Camera ACTION

      google would never allow that as that would eat in to their chromebook sales. But yeah that would have been nice

    As a developer , the only feature I’d still stick to is VS code and some other environments to code , 😂😂 no much difference to me , I got the update today , checked all the features, cool , well Vs code let’s continue our discussion

    Where can you download tablet version of the apps? Just the smart phone version?

    I don’t see the practicality of having android apps on windows tbh. Much easier to use them on my phone. I don’t get it.

    Will this end Android tablets? Windows touch based convertible pc will be more practical for both tab and pc right ?

    • Hector G.

      Not if windows does not support tablets from other markets. Also, affordability comes into play.

    if developers optimize apps for the windows landscape mode wont that also mean they will be optimized for android tablets in landscape mode?

    I’m just worried about having a million ads on my windows experience because of this Amazon partnership.

    Would love to have complete integration of Windows 11 and my Android Phone and Samsung Tablet. Would it be a better integration than iPad Pro and iPhone and iMac.

    “No app for Youtube” Not a problem when you use Newpipe instead.

      July 2, 2021 at 9:12 pm

      Or you could use a web app created by Edge.
