since I won't have a clue what everyone's doing or talking about. No Whatsapp, no point in ever reinserting my SIM card etc. But add esoteric but popular communications channels like Apple's iMessage and Instagram DMs to the shortlist above and it's clear that as of 2020, Windows 10 Mobile is the platform that's rather out of touch - or rather you will be if you're using it.Īnd it pains me to write all this - I've maintained a Lumia or similar for years, despite Microsoft's increasing neglect of the platform, but the termination of Whatsapp support really is the last straw - my family tree RUNS on Whatsapp groups. Ditto email, which works on just about anything and via multiple protocols. Now, it's true that basic SMS will still work on Windows 10 Mobile, of course.
