Windows 11 will be getting some new features next month, including the long-promised Android apps, a new Notepad and Media Player as well as taskbar changes too.

via early access Windows Insider builds. According to Microsoft Chief Product Officer for Windows Panos Panay though, Android app support will finally arrive on Windows 11 soon, in the form of a public preview. This likely means that it’ll still be in beta, but you can get the feature running without a Windows Insider build.

As a quick recap, Android app support for Windows 11 won’t use the Google Play store. Instead, if you’d like to download and use Android apps on Windows 11, you’ll need to use the Amazon App Store which in turn you’ll need to download from the Microsoft Store. It’s also worth mentioning that this includes having to install an Android subsystem onto your PC, though according to Amazon’s FAQ page this will happen automatically when you install the Amazon App Store.

Other new features coming to the next Windows 11 update include the new Notepad app complete with dark mode that we first saw in December when it arrived in Windows Insiders builds. On top of dark mode, the new Notepad also allows for multilevel undo and comes with a better search function. Another Windows classic getting a revamp is the Media Player, which finally gets rid of Groove Music and supports both audio and video.

But Panay’s post had more than just what’s coming to Windows 11 users. It was also almost like a retrospective piece, looking back at the last two years spent in a pandemic and how things have changed, with the PC now more important as ever. He notes that since 2020, they’ve seen a sixfold increase in communication apps like Slack and Microsoft Teams.

As for when we can expect these new features, well there’s no word just yet on when exactly, but it should be arriving some time next month. If you’re keen on these new features, be sure to check out for any updates your PC has via the Settings app.
