Because of that, there are many services that simply don\u2019t exist on PCs. If you want to use these services, you need a smartphone or tablet.<\/p>\n<p>By using Android apps in Windows 11, you can bridge the gap between your phone and PC. Popular services like Ring. Roomba, Ecobee, and Eero don\u2019t have desktop experiences. You have to stop what you\u2019re doing and pull out your phone, which can be very distracting.<\/p>\n<p>It may seem obvious, but this is a very big part of why mobile apps on desktop operating systems matter. A lot of services are geared toward mobile devices.

Touchscreens. Mobile apps are designed specifically to be used with touch, whereas some Windows apps work <em>okay<\/em> with touch.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a Windows 11 PC that sports a touchscreen\u2014especially a Windows tablet\u2014you may find Android apps work better with touch input. That\u2019s just the nature of how mobile apps are designed. Even the best touch-friendly Windows apps have to think about keyboards and mice.<\/p>\n<p>Android apps in Windows 11 can make your \u201chybrid\u201d PC even more of a convertible device.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Change the Size of the Touch Keyboard on Windows 11<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mobile_Gaming_on_Your_PC\"><\/span>Mobile Gaming on Your PC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-767328\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Pic2_Latte_WSL2.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Mobile game in Windows 11.\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2160\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been talking a lot about Android <em>apps<\/em>, but of course, Android <em><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s<\/em> work in Windows 11 as well.
