Who will run Android apps?

Windows 11 is out, but the promised Android app support is missing at launch

During the Windows 11 livestream event this summer that announced the new features in Windows, Microsoft was anxious to show off TikTok working in pair with Excel.

It's not that TikTok is making an app for Windows. Instead, Microsoft planned to let Android apps  work natively within Windows 11. Furthermore, Android Apps would be available via the Amazon App store which will be integrated into the Microsoft Store. 

That was the idea in the summer, at least, but now that Windows 11 is here,  Android support remains unavailable. You can learn more here https://www.android.com. Microsoft is continuing to beta-test the feature and will offer it at a later date. It's possible that Android app support won't arrive until early next year, though.

When it does show up, you'll be able to integrate Android apps in either Start menu or task bar. Apps like TikTok would be available to be snapped to the side, making it possible to type away in Microsoft Word while watching the latest duets.
