Windows App is based on Windows 365 , which allows you to access Windows on the cloud from a web browser on a computer or tablet, and can be accessed from a remote PC, Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, Microsoft Dev Box, or Microsoft's remote desktop service. It is said to play the role of a central hub for streaming copies of Windows.



According to Microsoft, to improve the remote experience, Windows apps include 'multi-monitor support,' 'custom display resolution support,' 'dynamic display resolution and scaling support,' and 'webcam, audio, and storage device support.' , redirection of devices such as printers, and optimization of Microsoft Teams.

Please note that the Windows App is in the preview stage at the time of article creation, and the beta version is pre-released. A beta version of the iOS/iPadOS version is distributed by

TestFlight , but at the time of writing the article, the number of testers had reached the upper limit, so the beta version could not be downloaded. Also, the Android version has not been pre-released at the time of article creation.

Tom Warren, editor of the IT news site The Verge , shows how the Windows App for iOS actually operates on X.



At the time of article creation, a company account or school account is required to use Windows App, and it cannot be used with a personal account. Warren said, ``(At the time of writing) Windows Apps are limited to business accounts, but the sign-in screen for Windows Apps says ``work, school, or personal account,'' so it's not possible to use a personal account. We anticipate that it may also become available.'
