Microsoft is taking new steps to improve integration between Windows 11 and Android. The recently announced Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) feature allows running Android apps on Windows 11. Users can now also share files between WSA and Android apps.
WSA update enhances Windows 11-Android integration
With the new update, Microsoft has introduced file integration between Windows and Android apps through WSA. For example, you will be able to transfer the Gallery folder from your Android device to Windows using WSA, allowing you to edit the photos from your smartphone on Windows.
In addition to file sharing, there have been improvements in the file transfer method as well. Users can now drag and drop files between Windows and Android apps, eliminating the need for cloud storage or third-party transfer tools.
While Windows 11 lost users last month, Windows 10 continues to be the most widely used Microsoft operating system.
With the addition of file transfer from Android to Windows 11 and the new file transfer method, the interface of WSA has also changed. This tool now has a much easier-to-use interface and displays the Android apps installed on the computer.
Microsoft has also provided Android 13 security updates for WSA. This means that users will be protected with Google security updates while running Android apps.
The latest version also brings several important enhancements. It will be possible to create a shared folder between the Windows user profile and Android. Microsoft aims to maximize Android integration by providing support for developers.
