Microsoft has published a roadmap of the Windows Subsystem for Android on GitHub. This shows that work is being done on support for Android 13, file transfer between the Android and Windows environment, picture-in-picture mode and local network access.

Microsoft gives on the Github page an overview of all the features currently supported by the Windows Subsystem for Android. At the same time, the company also reports which features are currently not supported, such as Android widgets, direct access to bluetooth, backing up files, picture-in-picture mode and access to USB. The roadmap also shows the functions the company is currently working on. It is not known when these new functions will be introduced.

The page also allows developers to report bugs in the Windows Subsystem for Android or submit feature requests. Microsoft also makes documents available to developers who want to make their Android apps compatible with the Subsystem, or to debug their apps so that they work properly through the virtualization software.

At the presentation of Windows 11 in 2021, Microsoft announced that it will be possible to run Android apps on the operating system. These will be available for download via the Amazon Appstore, which is integrated into Microsoft’s own Store. Microsoft has indicated that this works with Intel Bridge technology, without going into technical details.
