The macOS version of ' Windows App ' is available from the Mac App Store, while the iOS and iPadOS version of ' Windows App Mobile ' can be downloaded from the App Store. ' Windows App ' has also been released on the Microsoft Store.



Windows App is a gateway app that securely connects to

Azure Virtual Desktop , Windows 365 , Microsoft Dev Box , Remote Desktop Services , and Remote PCs , allowing you to operate Windows apps regardless of whether you're on a private network or the cloud.

Until now, Microsoft has released 'Microsoft Remote Desktop' as a gateway app, but this Windows App not only integrates multiple services into one app, but also includes 'easy account switching,' 'improved device management functions for IT administrators,' 'support for Windows 365 Frontline ,' and 'support for Relayed RDP Shortpath, which allows remote desktop to be enabled even on networks that are not normally allowed.' In addition, the user interface is unified for PC and mobile versions, allowing you to enjoy a consistent experience on any platform.

If you have Microsoft Remote Desktop installed on your device, it will automatically be updated to the Windows App, which will retain all the features that Microsoft Remote Desktop had, such as support for multiple monitors, the use of devices such as webcams and audio input/output, and multi-factor authentication.



Microsoft has also announced the availability of an Android version of the Windows App, and has reported that it plans to conduct a public preview on the Google Play Store.
