Microsoft's Windows App: A Groundbreaking Tool for iPhones, Macs, and Android Devices

Microsoft Launches a Windows App for All Devices

Microsoft is launching a Windows app today for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, web browsers, Android devices, and even Windows PCs. The Windows app is essentially a hub for streaming a copy of Windows from a variety of sources, including Windows 365, Azure Virtual Desktop, Remote Desktop, and more.

Key Features of the New Windows App

• Customizable homescreen for personalized user experience.
• Multi-monitor support for improved productivity.
• USB redirection allows local devices like webcams and printers to be used seamlessly.

This new unified app has been in testing for nearly a year and aims primarily at Microsoft work and school accounts, catering to existing users of Remote Desktop clients.

The Future of Windows in the Cloud

Last year, Microsoft disclosed its long-term strategy to transition Windows fully to the cloud, aiming to enhance AI-powered services and provide full roaming of individual digital experiences.

Windows users can download the Windows app from the Microsoft Store and it’s also available from Apple's App Store for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. An Android version enters public preview mode today.
