In a tweet by Joe Belfiore, Microsoft’s Corporate Vice President of Windows, he admitted that Windows Phone is dead and that it will only receive bug fixes and security updates.
Belfiore revealed that they [Microsoft] will still support the platform [Windows Phone] in terms of bug fixes, security updates, etc. but building new features aren’t their focus now.
Of course we'll continue to support the platform.. bug fixes, security updates, etc. But building new features/hw aren't the focus. 😟 https://t.co/0CH9TZdIFu

When a certain tweet-er asked Belfiore if developers are still going to build new apps for Windows phone, he said that, unfortunately, volume of users of Windows phone is too low for most companies to invest on.
We have tried VERY HARD to incent app devs. Paid money.. wrote apps 4 them.. but volume of users is too low for most companies to invest. ☹️ https://t.co/ePsySxR3LB

Well, we guess it’s time to truly say goodbye to Windows Phone.

Windows has been dying for a long time. There were no apps available. No youtube, viber and other common apps.

Windows is not something a user like me will use on a Smartphone, because it’s not user friendly specially for grannys. :D It’s such a bad thing that Microsoft did on its phones with poor apps sources to download.
