A couple of years ago, Microsoft was making a final push for Windows 10 Mobile but had to ultimately shut it down. The company diverted its attention towards Android, building out Cortana and Microsoft Launcher as standalone products. And, the much-loved Your Phone app came into the picture soon after to enable users to connect their Android phones to Windows 10 PCs and access notifications, pictures, messages, and more on the fly. Microsoft is now rumored to be going a step further to bring Android app support to Windows 10 in 2021.

The ability to run Android apps on a Windows machine could be a game-changer. It will pitch the Windows 10-Android ecosystem against Apple’s walled garden.
