Since September, Microsoft has integrated support for running multiple Android apps within Your Phone, with a promise that the capability to run multiple mobile apps on Windows 10 PCs will roll out by the end of 2020.

And indeed, that capability has been released, or at least support for Windows Insiders is currently being rolled out, with broader availability for everyone perhaps not far off.
However, testers must use specific Samsung smartphone models, and it seems that other mobile devices will soon benefit from these convenient features.
When asked about support plans for other devices, a Microsoft representative stated that most Your Phone features can work across various Android devices besides Samsung. However, the feature to run multiple Android apps on Windows 10 PCs requires deeper hardware and software integration, and the company has worked directly with Samsung to make this feasible.
So, while it's not out of the question that Microsoft has been collaborating with other phone manufacturers to bring these advantages to users, clearly, this is no easy feat, and thus, support plans for other mobile devices won't happen soon.
In recent months, Microsoft has stated they are 'exploring new ideas and methods to assist customers' in bringing the ability to run Android apps on Windows 10 through Your Phone to other phones, alongside some Samsung models. Therefore, hopefully, no technical limitations will hinder this feature from reaching devices of other brands.
