Big update for Android on Windows: these are the improvements

How to Run Android Apps on Windows 11

Android applications have been running on Windows for a while now. However, thanks to a new update, the user experience has improved a lot with the July 11 Preview.
The official name for this tool is Windows 11 Subsystem for Android, or WSA for short. Setting up compatibility with Android apps is a bit of work, but luckily we recently explained how to do it.

Updates to Improve User Experience

The updates are very diverse. For example, there is greater compatibility with cameras, which was a stumbling block for some apps. Fullscreen mode now has a taskbar in hover mode, improving the touchscreen experience. In addition, it is now possible to connect Android apps within a network. OneDrive folders are also readable within the application, which did not always work before. From now on, WSA will also let you know if an app wants to use permissions that are not supported by the subsystem.
Picture-in-picture would also be improved, including new UI buttons. Ultimately, running Android apps on Windows is clearly emotionally different from a native application, but such tweaks can gradually bridge this. The Linux kernel within WSA is now 5.15.104.

Increased Stability for ARM-Based Devices

A major improvement is the increased stability for ARM-based devices. Somewhat ironic, since almost all Android phones run on this architecture. For devices with 16GB of system memory or more, the partially running mode is now possible, something that is indispensable on Android mobile devices. This is because mobile devices have a strong focus on efficiency, while this form of Windows compatibility did not yet support that kind of tight integration with the hardware.
Finally, a security fix should not be missing, about which Microsoft does not share any further details.
