If support for resizable apps comes to Your Phone in the future, it will make Android apps feel significantly more natural on Windows 10. Many Android apps have been optimized for larger screens and resizing. Hopefully, these will be able to span and resize on Windows 10 in the future.
Your Phone syncs your photos, text messages, and notifications between your phone and your PC. Now, Insiders can use it to run multiple Android apps on Windows 10 with supported phones.
