Microsoft has created a Windows App for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, Windows, and web browsers that enables the ability to connect to any of your remote Windows PCs no matter where you are. The app was announced at Ignite 2023 and is available now in preview. It lets users connect to a Windows 365, Azure Virtual Desktop, Microsoft Dev Box, or personal Remote Desktop PC.
The new app is a customisable home screen incorporating Microsoft's current Cloud PC services and Remote Desktop and RDP connections. It supports multi-monitor setups, custom display resolutions, dynamic display resolutions and scaling, peripheral redirection, and more.
Microsoft has had similar apps for connecting to PCs remotely for decades, most notably with its Remote Desktop Connection app that ships in Windows. However, a dedicated "Windows App" is unusual branding and could signal Microsoft's broader ambitions to move Windows fully to the cloud are underway.
Currently, the Windows App is also limited to Microsoft's range of business accounts, but there are signs it will be available to consumers, too. Also, the app is unavailable for Andriod, but the screenshot provided shows the app running on an Android tablet. The Android app may be coming later. The web app can be accessed on the windows.cloud.microsoft URL.
