Microsoft has confirmed that it is officially rolling out Android app support to Windows 11 in several countries, taking the total count to 21. Android app support was first added to Windows 11 in February, although it was previously available in two countries – the United States and Japan.
Microsoft told Windows Latest that it started pushing Android apps to users in the United Kingdom and Europe on September 27. Users in these regions can now install the updated WSA through a Windows Update. WSA previously only worked when users switched their region to either the US or Japan, and the Amazon Appstore was also available only in these regions.
Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) has passed its beta phase and is now working on all eligible devices. This means, users in these regions will now have access to a limited selection of Android apps on the Microsoft Store and deeper integration will run these Android apps like normal Windows apps.
Microsoft has confirmed a list of regions where Windows will support native Android app through the Amazon Appstore. These are Andorra, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Japan, Jersey, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, San Marino, Spain, Switzerland, the UK, the US, and the Vatican City.
