Many have been excited at the prospect of their Chromebook receiving support for Android applications installed via the Play Store. This has been huge news for those who own a Chromebook, but it’s left a lot of people to wonder if their device will get the update soon.
So far, it’s been limited to Chromebooks like the ASUS Chromebook Flip, Acer Chromebook R11, and the Google Chromebook Pixel, but Google says they’re working to add support for many others in the future.
Sadly, this experience hasn’t been perfect since it was announced. Many have reported issues with the user interface of these apps on their device and this is why many devices only support it via the Canary or Developer channels. This is also why so many developers have prevented their apps from running on these devices. They don’t want to offer a poor experience to their customers, and they certainly don’t want to get bad reviews for a feature that has yet to his the stable channel.
But the big question remains, will my Chrome OS device ever receive support for the Play Store and if so, when will that update happen? We don’t have Google’s schedule for when they plan on adding support for additional devices. Progress has seemed very slow when it comes to bringing the feature to older Chrome OS devices. But we do have some good news for anyone looking to buy a new Chromebook. Google has confirmed on their Chromium OS page that all Chromebooks launching in 2017 and after will include support for Android applications via the Play Store.
We also have a list of which Chromebooks will eventually get updated to support Android applications. At least right now, we have a list of potential devices that will receive the update. Since this whole project is still in development, this list could change at any time. Check the list below to see if your device will receive the update…
