#wp7.8 support

Microsoft will be pulling the plug on its support for Windows Phone 8 and Windows Phone 7.8 after the end of its 18 month lifecycle period in 2014. According to the Microsoft Product Lifecycle support webpage, Windows Phone 8 started its lifecycle on December 14, 2012 while support will end on July 8, 2014. On the other hand, Windows 7.8 started on February 9, 2013 and will end support on September 9, 2014. Furthermore, Google has also added the support of emoji voice recognition to be used for insertion in conversations but it is currently only available in English. The AI also supports cross-app automation for ride-hailing, shopping, food delivery, and smart home control, mostly via GUI-based navigation. Telegram has also added support for stickers, allowing users to send them within chat threads. The launch expands Telegram's support for wearable devices and gives Wear OS users another way to stay connected without relying entirely on their phones. The Telegram Wear OS app is now available for supported smartwatches running Google's Wear OS platform.
