WhatsApp has its hours counted on Windows Phone: it cannot be downloaded from July 2019 and in 2020 it cannot be used

Windows on Mobile may no longer be a representative platform in the smartphone market . Sales are almost non-existent and the platform is slowly dying to the despair and anger of those who once trusted Microsoft and spent their money on a device with this operating system.

The situation began to go wrong when in the jump from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 on mobile phones the company decided to put aside many Models. Users who were left in the lurch in a process that would later be repeated.Comings and goings that did not bode well as it has finally happened. And all these decisions have had the consequence that the apps have been disappearing. Some were not very popular but others... are basic, as is the case of WhatsApp.

WhatsApp disappears from Windows Phone

And now, the popular messaging application has the hours counted on any device that works with the Microsoft operating system No It is no longer just a specific version, but rather the cessation of support for all terminals under Windows Phone.

On the WhatsApp support page now a new date appears: the application will disappear and will not be downloadable from July 1, 2019 . If you don't have WhatsApp on that date, you can forget about using it on your terminal with Windows Phone.

If, on the contrary, you have it installed or you get hold of WhatsApp before July 31, you can use it, but still there is a deadline . Starting December 31, 2019, WhatsApp will stop working on the Windows Phone platform.

A month ago we warned that it would no longer be operational on Windows Phone as of December 31, 2019, but now July 1 is added to those dates of 2019 as new margin to download the application.

Therefore comes the end for WhatsApp on the Microsoft mobile platform. A draft application whose end almost fully certifies the death of a platform that was already mortally wounded.
