Microsoft has launched a Windows app for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, web browsers, Android devices, and even Windows PCs.
The app serves as a central hub for streaming Windows from various sources, including Windows 365, Azure Virtual Desktop, Remote Desktop, and more.
On most platforms, Windows App is a replacement for the Microsoft Remote Desktop app, which was used for connecting to a copy of Windows running on a remote computer or server for some users and IT organizations, a relatively straightforward way to run Windows software on devices that aren’t running Windows or can’t run Windows natively.
“With Windows App, you can enjoy a unified experience that makes it simple for people to connect to the Windows experience they know and love from any device. Enhance productivity with features such as customizable home screens, multi-monitor support, and USB redirection. The Windows App also offers advanced security features, including multifactor authentication, to ensure a seamless and robust connection, enablin
g efficient work from any location at any time,” said Microsoft.
The new integrated app has been in testing for almost a year and includes a customizable home screen, multi-monitor support, and USB redirection, allowing users to utilize local devices like webcams, storage devices, and printers as if they were directly connected to a cloud PC.
