Amazon App Store Launches On Windows 11 – channelnews

A month after Microsoft rolled out its first major Windows 11 update, the company has added several new features, including an Amazon App Store.

From today, Windows 11 users in 31 countries (including Australia) will be able to access over 50,000 titles via the Amazon App Store. These include previous phone-friendly apps such as as Project Makeover, Evony: The King’s Return, Coin Master, Kindle and Audible.

In addition, the ESPN app is now available in the Microsoft Store, joining the likes of Hulu, Netflix, Discord, Vudu, Tubi, Crunchyroll, TikTok, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video.

On top of this, Microsoft has continued to focus on simplicity and functionality with its updates to Windows 11. Most of these are minor, but welcome, tweaks.

Tabbed File Explorer: Tabs in File Explorer will allow customers to organise files and pivot between folders with ease. It is designed to simplify everyday tasks and make collaboration effortless with OneDrive integration.

Taskbar Enhancements: Two highly requested enhancements coming to the Taskbar will let you view all your overflowed apps in one space, as well as provide easier access directly to Task Manager.

Suggested Actions: This new feature anticipates customer needs and gives suggestions for actions they wish to take, such as automatically highlighting phone numbers to call or future dates to save as events in your calendar.

Photos app: Coming at the end of October, the Photos app organizes your photos from your phone, camera, and OneDrive.

From next month, iCloud integration for Photos app will give Windows 11 access to all photos on your iPhone with a direct connection to the iCloud photo library.

With the recent launch of Microsoft’s new Surface tablet, these new features bring Windows 11 closer to any tablet-based operating systems.
