      The whole subsystem is being removed, so the Android container to run apks is going with it. Sad to see it go, although my usage went down quite a bit after moving away from 3rd party Reddit apps.

        Never used it except for the only time I ran an Android app on my windows pc was for Clash of Clans for which Google has a native integration for. Might have been useful later on :|
