Mind you, there’s a school of thought which says that it’s always best to build an app set-up from scratch anyway, in order not to put back stuff you don’t actually need. PIM stuff and photos will come via the cloud and OneDrive etc. It’s an option, anyway, going forwards, so do make sure that you have non-synced data and documents on your phone copied onto other devices and media, as needed.

Notably, the trickle of new UWP applications in the Store has now pretty much dried up, and only a handful of popular titles are still receiving updates. The developer world has understandably moved on. But it’s still important to have the Store fully available, in case you have to reset and restore a Lumia, since latest binaries come from here as part of the restore process.

It’s worth noting that the OneDrive client on iOS and Android is excellent – if you do switch at some point then you essentially carry on with the same interface, auto-backup, and photo stream in the cloud subject to your storage plan, e. This being a cloud-centric OCR solution, it’s utterly dependent on Microsoft allowing server access. It was announced that access to the OneDrive servers would stop at the end of , and this has now happened , for Office Lens on both Mobile and Desktop. The idea is that the iOS and Android versions of Office include the same functionality and will be more convenient for most people.

Go figure. No cessation date announced, likely or beyond. Outlook app development is all on newer Windows 10 branches though, so the current one on Windows 10 Mobile is only receiving small bug fixes and none of the sexier stuff you’ll read about in the news. I’ve tested setting up a Google account to work with Outlook on a reset phone and changes at Google’s end mean that the relevant password and set up screens don’t get handled properly.

Similarly for Yahoo, and possibly others. Note that existing phones with previously setup accounts will carry on working fine – the caveat above is for adding accounts to a Windows 10 Mobile phone. No official cessation date announced. Time will tell, etc! Official client is a PWA, but works well if already installed , apart from lack of push notifications to the Edge engine used the usual lack of ‘service workers’ in the browser.

Here’s the latest changelog. API limitations at Twitter’s end mean that there’s now no fully working third party alternative at least, one that also has access to DMs.

However, of note is that this has now disappeared from the Store , so there’s no way to install it again on a reset device, which is a huge shame. In that case, you’d have to use the PWA twitter. Which does the same thing, but you have to live with the browser URL bar etc. The Twitter code is starting to lag a bit on the low power older Lumias, mind you – and it’s only going to get worse as Twitter’s coders add more and more stuff!

Official Osmeta-based, derived from iOS codebase client has now been withdrawn, being part of the Facebook ’empire’. There’s an official Instagram PWA, but it’s officially available patchily under Windows 10 Mobile, available as an upgrade through the Store only if you have the original installed.

Very odd – it’s not there otherwise. There are also several third party alternatives, the clear favourite of which is the quirky, often unstable, but always improving Winsta UWP which now features notifications. The official WP8. Various third party applications were targetted by Spotify’s lawyers and have now been withdrawn from the Store, sadly. Spotimo UWP was your best bet, and was reworked as ‘Strix Music’, and this is available for side-loading.

Expect glitches galore, so be patient with it – it’s all we’ve got! One of the more famous spats between Google and Microsoft, this hasn’t had an official application for years, though of course it works fine in the Edge browser. I’d recommend myTube! YouTube does keep changing things though, so have both UWP apps installed and go for the one updated most recently. Do please let me know, by email or in the comments, if there are any inaccuracies in the above table or if you have information to update it.

Another valid question might be what will happen to the sites themselves from onwards? We’ve now moved to a cheaper, faster, fresher server, but there are still some bits to do. All About Mobile has launched, albeit with some technical glitches as I write this, but at least it’s secure https. Microsoft services Security updates The last update was in January – and was for the newest branch.

Theoretically, the OS is now ‘vulnerable’, though in practice Windows 10 Mobile is now battle hardened and also an utterly miniscule target for attackers, so the lack of updates won’t actually be an issue.

I’d suggest that lack of support also means that people at Microsoft won’t be testing services against Windows 10 Mobile any more, but we all know that they haven’t been doing this for some time, sadly. I can’t imagine the download bandwidth here amounts to much, but Microsoft will, at some point, shut down these servers, probably because things are changing server-side to accommodate new services and platforms.

No end date is known, I’d guess, some time in or beyond. Auto-backups Until ‘March ‘, i. It’s not clear whether manual backups will be possible after auto-backups do eventually finish. Watch this space – as of today, 2nd January , both auto and manual backups are still working just fine. I suspect that this will finally stop in March , when OneDrive support for Windows 7 and 8.

Restoring from backups Until ‘March ‘, which was a year ago! Store apps Application updates and installs are currently fine. The old 8. And maybe longer see auto-backups above! Store client Ignore scare stories about the Store client itself not being updated anymore – updates with bug fixes and security tweaks will continue for at least a year, possibly more, albeit with new features and UI fanciments only the latest Windows 10 Desktop OS branches. And yes, some of these updates will have knock on effects for Windows 10 Mobile – we had problems with the Store needing a manual ‘Refresh’ recently – these got resolved, thankfully.

Auto-Photos upload to OneDrive This seems to have finally stopped, a year after the scheduled finish. You’ll have to upload manually from now on which still works. You can still stream from OneDrive or download from both first and third party applications though – see the linked article for suggestions. OneDrive No cessation date for Windows 10 Mobile access announced, likely or way beyond – Microsoft is a cloud company in many ways now and OneDrive is central to its vision.

Outlook Mail, Calendar No cessation date announced, likely or beyond. Office UWP applications Updates for these were stopped, as of ‘January ‘, though the applications should carry on working indefinitely. The lack of updates after this is moot though, since main app development is all on newer Windows 10 branches, so the current Office UWP apps on Windows 10 Mobile have only been receiving bug fixes at best.

News No cessation date announced, likely mid or beyond. Sports content no longer works. Weather As with News, no cessation date announced, likely mid or beyond, though Weather is simpler and everything still works just fine. Microsoft To-Do This has now been announced as stopping at the end of The app still ‘works’, as in it runs, but it won’t sync with cloud data and thus other devices – your to-dos will be strictly local.

Clever money has new purchases stopping soon and no access to past purchases stopping in mid Just a guess. I’ve checked and past purchases are still available, as at 1st April , the DRM still works, encrypted movies and TV shows still play, and with no warning messages in-app. As at April it’s still working, including syncing messages and calls. However, it has started to ‘miss’ some calls made on other clients, so I fear the end is not far off. Microsoft Authenticator In theory, this will keep working for ages if it’s already set up , since it relies on tokens from the relevant sites and time-based calculations.

But sites might revoke tokens and require re-authentication, so a system like this isn’t guaranteed forever. It’ll run OK during , though note that Microsoft Authenticator does more on iOS and Android, include token syncing between signed-in devices in theory – in my experience, this is patchy, anyway. It’s just a shame that this potential sync doesn’t include W10M, since the app was frozen too early in development. Social applications Twitter Official client is a PWA, but works well if already installed , apart from lack of push notifications to the Edge engine used the usual lack of ‘service workers’ in the browser.

As mentioned on the official page,. Windows 10 Mobile, version released October is the last release of Windows 10 Mobile and Microsoft will end support on December 10, Windows 10 Mobile users will no longer be eligible to receive new security updates, non-security hotfixes, free assisted support options or online technical content updates from Microsoft for free. All other Windows 10 Mobile versions have already ceased to receive support from Microsoft with their lifecycles coming to an end.

[Status report for April services and apps on Windows 10 Mobile

 
 

Через каждые несколько шагов Стратмор останавливался, держа пистолет наготове, и прислушивался. Единственным звуком, достигавшим его ушей, был едва уловимый гул, шедший снизу. Сьюзан хотелось потянуть шефа назад, в безопасность его кабинета.
