Last year, Microsoft announced Windows Subsystem for Android which will allow Android apps to run on Windows 11. The service has been made available to Windows users in the United States, and now, Microsoft has announced that the service will extend to more regions before the end of 2022.
These regions will include France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom (Via XDA Developers). For those unaware, this feature was announced in June 2021 and made its way to the live version of Windows earlier this year. Microsoft has partnered with Amazon for this service and provides the Android apps via the Amazon Appstore on Windows 11.
If you live outside of these above-mentioned regions and can’t wait for the update to make its way to your country, you can easily access the feature from the Microsoft store after changing your region settings in Windows. The more challenging part is getting access to the apps themselves as Amazon Appstore currently works only with US-based Amazon accounts. There is still a way to sideload the Android apps on Windows 11, however, it would require a bit of tinkering and technical know-how.
