Clients for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 will be discontinued

Almost all Feed Viewer users have upgraded their devices to Windows 10. Windows Phone 8.1 support ended on July 11, 2017. Windows 8.1 will reach the end of mainstream support on January 9, 2018. Feed Viewer for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 will become unsupported in January 2018.

Additionally, the latest client for Windows 10 now requires at least the Anniversary Update (version 1607, build 14393). Support for Windows 10 RTM (version 1507, build 10240) ended on May 9, 2017, and support for the Windows 10 November Update (version 1511, build 10586) ended on October 10, 2017. The policy for the Windows 10 client is to align with Microsoft’s support policy for Windows 10 versions. In some valid cases, support may be extended. Most high-end Nokia Lumia devices will not be upgraded beyond the Anniversary Update. There is no technical reason to cut support for those devices yet.

Reducing the number of supported clients from three to one on Windows allows for expansion to another platform. Much work has already been done in this area. Follow this blog to receive the latest information about our progress.
