Microsoft announced today that it is upgrading the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) to Android 13 in all Windows Insider Program channels. The change comes almost one month after it began testing Android 13 in the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) Preview Program.
“Today we are shipping an update for Windows Subsystem for Android on Windows 11 to all Windows Insider channels,” the Windows Insider Program team writes. “This update (2211.40000.11.0) will update WSA to Android 13, general reliability, and performance.”
