So, nobody really talks about it here, but it's more than possible to run android apps on windows 10 mobile. I tried it myself- facebook messenger, facebook, instagram, all the android versions -so much more polished and well designed than what we have to pick from on our windows phones- basically, for the most part, work.
Obviously it's illegal or something so windowscentral hasn't written any articles about it. And, sometimes it's buggy (like when the app looks for a picture in your phone, or has to use your camera,) and notifications don't work. Whatever.
What I'm asking is, is now that I've seen something like this happen, in the very near future with the release of windows 10 phones coming out, will we start seeing legitimate, legal, and working android apps coming to our phones?
I'll admit, after switching to a droid for a month, the apps are so well done, so snappy, and so pretty, my windows phone feels rather dead and old, even if the OS itself is the most visually appealing thing available.
I'm curious if I should invest in another windows phone because quality apps will be coming my way in the next few months, or just go with an iPhone. I've been a windows phone user since 7, but I'm getting sick of feeling left out. My generation relies on things like snapchat to keep in touch, and after having moved to south korea, things like this are all the more valuable. Not to mention subway apps that saved my life in korea and all the banking apps just aren't available on windows phone (hence i have been using a droid for the past month).
