Movement of bringing Android applications to Windows 11 was undoubtedly a very smart step by Microsoft. And that’s because although the adoption of a new operating system by those in Redmond isn’t going as fast as they’d like, it’s undeniable that this innovation makes Windows 11 very attractive to many, especially those who already use the operating system. Google on their mobile devices and now sees an opportunity to expand the use of its applications on the PC.

At Microsoft, they are aware of this, but also of that The relationship between Windows 11 and Android is still, say, a bit basic. And that’s because in most cases, it’s limited to the ability to install and run a selection of applications from the Amazon store for Android and some other features via Mobile Link (the old “Your Phone”), with one important exception, the selection of Samsung smartphones for which the features are greatly expanded.

This, however may be close to change. Of course, not for the worse on Samsung devices, but for the better with others that could only count on basic features (which are much more than Mobile Link offers for iPhone users) and seem to be part of Microsoft’s plans for Windows 11 and its improved support and interoperability with Android.

And how can we read in Windows Latest, Microsoft has decided to merge all of its Android work teams into a new division called Android Microsoft Platform and Experience, for which it also published some job offers. His description states that his goal “as connects Mobile Link / Your Phone, SwiftKey, Microsoft Launcher and other services, including “Surface Duo experience”«. In other words, key elements of Windows 11 when it comes to Android integration.

It is unclear at this time what steps Microsoft intends to take to improve interoperability between Android and Windows 11, but it is unlikely that it will take long for us to see how some of the features that were exclusive to Android devices jump to many more. equipment from other manufacturers. . And it makes sense to think that most advances have nothing to do with compatibility with multiple applications, but with the deployment of new and improved integration and continuity features. in a series that Apple recently opened with iOS and macOS.
