Windows 11 (NEW feature): Access Android phone files wirelessly via File Explorer
UPDATED 03/07/2024: Microsoft is expected to end support for the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) and the Amazon Appstore in 2025. After three years of trying to bring Android apps to Windows 11, the company is abandoning its efforts and on March 5, 2025, the Windows Subsystem for Android and the Amazon Appstore will be deprecated.
The company quietly announced this with a note on the official documentation page for WSA. The announcement states that the apps and games from the Amazon Appstore app for Windows 11 will no longer be supported after March 5, 2025.
Amazon also published an article detailing the Amazon Appstore shutdown following Microsoft's update. The company's announcement is similar to Microsoft's but offers a bit more detail, noting that developers don't need to take any action but can still submit updates to existing apps during the "winddown" period.
