Previously, wsa was based on Android 11 and upgraded to Android 12.1 (also known as Android 12L) in the latest version upgrade. This means that if you use a non pixel phone, the Android version on the desktop is higher than the phone you have in hand.
This update also applies to Android apps and windows The integration mode of has been improved. The app's pop-up message may now be displayed as a Windows notification, and the taskbar will be able to show whether an android app is accessing your microphone or location. The company also said that Android apps should perform better after you wake up your computer from standby mode. They will not restart, but return to the way they left.
Microsoft also said it has completely redesigned the settings application you use to manage windows subsystem for Android, grouping settings and providing a "comprehensive and clean user experience". It also makes various improvements on how Android applications access your computer's camera, and even improves network functions, so you can set up smart home devices using Android applications running on your computer.

The company said it was working with partners to "solve these problems as soon as possible" and hoped that it would be rectified before reaching consumers.
