This decision was made not long After discontinuing support for apps on Windows smartphones.
So if you are one of those that are still using Windows Phone 7.5 or Windows Phone 8.0 smartphone in 2018, you are definitely using an outdated device epecially now that Microsoft is shutting down mobile push notifications for these two versions of their mobile OS.
But that isn’t all. In addition to your Windows Phone 7.5 and Windows Phone 8 smartphones no longer receiving notifications, they will also no longer receive live tiles updates, and the “find my phone” feature will not work on them anymore.
According to Microsoft:
"On February 20, 2018, Mobile Push Notification services will be turned off for Windows Phone 7.5 and Windows Phone 8.0. Once this happens: Your phone will no longer receive notifications. Your phone will not receive additional live tile updates. The “Find my phone” feature will no longer locate your phone. Windows Phone 7.5 and Windows Phone 8.0 have reached their end of support dates, and thus services for these versions of Windows will be discontinued over time."
Just as Blackberry is now almost fazed out of this world, Windows smartphones will follow suit immediately as they can't compete with the likes of Android and Apple.
IS IT SAVE TO USE WINDOWS 10?
