Customers that have installed the Amazon Appstore or Android apps prior to March 5, 2024, will continue to have access to those apps through the deprecation date of March 5, 2025.

    The whole subsystem is being removed, so the Android container to run apks is going with it. Sad to see it go, although my usage went down quite a bit after moving away from 3rd party Reddit apps.

      Never used it except for the only time I ran an Android app on my windows pc was for Clash of Clans for which Google has a native integration for. Might have been useful later on :|
