Twitter announces that its uwp will stop working on June 1

Twitter has had a PWA (Progressive Web Apps) available in the Microsoft store for more than a month. These types of applications are a feature of the Windows 10 April Update, which allows a web application to function as a native application.

Twitter announces the abandonment of its UWP for June 1 in favor of the PWA

With the arrival of these PWA applications, it was expected that many developers abandon their universal applications, known as UWP. This is the case of Twitter, whose UWP will cease to be usable from June 1, affecting users of operating systems such as Windows Phone 7, Windows Phone 8, Windows Phone 8.1, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 Mobile versions 1703 and earlier., and Windows 10 version 1703 or earlier.

Many of the UWP applications are deprecated and have not been updated for months, an example of this is the Twitter application, which is still limited to a maximum of 140 characters in messages. PWAs are expected to offer users a better experience.

UWP apps have never been too popular, causing many of the developers to lose interest. The purpose of these was to unify the versions for Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile in a single version, with the death of the second, they make less sense than ever.

With the arrival of the Windows 10 April Update, a new step has been taken to abandon UWPs in favor of the more modern PWAs, which should start to become much more popular as the next few months go by. What do you think of the disappearance of the UWP from Twitter? Will you be affected by his disappearance?
