Google announces that Chromebook will soon support Android apps via an upcoming Chrome OS update, following the availability of Microsoft Office for Chromebook users.
Chromebook will soon support Android apps concurrently with the Chrome 64 update.
According to ChromeUnboxed, it appears that Chrome OS 64 will soon introduce a new feature called 'Android Parallel Tasks', aiming to allow users to run Android apps on Chromebook supporting Google Play Store and Android apps.
Currently, Chrome OS is pausing Android apps, meaning multiple Android apps cannot run simultaneously. Chrome 63 is the latest stable version of Chrome OS, released on December 15, just 1 day after Google released Chrome OS 64 on the Beta channel.
Android Parallel Tasks will soon be available on Chromebook
With Chrome OS 64, users can activate the 'Android Parallel Tasks' feature in the Google Play Store settings, but only when developer mode is enabled on the Chromebook.
