How to get Xbox Apps on Windows Android and take part in Party Chat?
Party chat now available in the Xbox apps for Android Windows. The Xbox apps for Android will now let you take part in party chat while on the go. Recently Microsoft rolled out party chat to its Android and iOS Xbox mobile apps. The feature allows Xbox Live users to communicate with their gaming pals via both voice and text when they’re out of the house and away from the console. That heightens the community feel of party chat as you can certainly message fellow PlayStation owners through official apps, but live voice chat isn’t an option unless you turn to a third-party service. While this probably won’t make or break your choice of console, it’s something to consider if you frequently play online with a close-knit group.
