Windows 11 computers to get access to Android 13 beta 

The native support for Android apps in Windows 11 without the need for additional software or emulators is one of the most intriguing aspects. Android 12 is currently the foundation of the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA), but that will change. An update to Android 13 is in the works, much like the finest Android phones.

Microsoft has released a beta channel for this update, however, it is not a part of Windows 11 Insider builds but rather users will have to sign up for the Windows Subsystem for Android Preview program. It will be Version 2211.40000.7.0 that lets users try out the Android 13 beta.

To run the stable WSA version, a user must be a Windows Insider, and to run the most recent Android 13 beta, a user must be a WSA Preview member. You may always choose the alternate route and instal the most recent WSA by sideloading if you are a power user and aren’t afraid to get your hands a little filthy.

Microsoft has disclosed several additional improvements that make up this release. Details on the GitHub repository list eight of them, excluding general enhancements to reliability and performance.

Here are 8 improvements:

• Added a new command that shuts down WSA for automation
• Improvements in boot performance (50%, P10 case)
• Improvements to mouse click input
• Improvements in clipboard stability
• Improvements to application resizing
• Upgraded to Intel bridge technology for Android 13
• Reliability improvements to media files opening in Windows
• Jumplist entries for applications supporting app shortcuts

Additionally, the Windows Subsystem for Android is now only available in the United States. When a worldwide rollout might occur is unclear. It is also not clear when this feature will be available to the public.
