The Windows platform for mobile devices is in the doldrums. At the beginning of last year, Microsoft had a 2,5% share worldwide, impressive numbers for the company and which were the maximum ceiling they have been able to reach since its launch after the purchase of Nokia. But since that date, the company's market share has only gone down and down, reaching a sad 0,7% according to the latest figures, a share that gives no reason for the Microsoft guys to be happy with the work they are doing. Much of the fault, has been the company itself, due to the delay in the final release of Windows 10 Mobile for the devices that were compatible. Windows 10 Mobile arrived almost 4 months late and many were the users who had grown tired of waiting and chose to renew their device with one with another operating system.
With the low market share that the company had, Microsoft was the one in charge of creating the type applications of Facebook, Instagram and others so that users did not have the typical excuse that there are no applications to choose their platform. But the Redmond guys squeezed the companies and they got down to work to launch their own applications, which were not under the Microsoft name, as was the case.
Just a few days ago Facebook application for Windows 10 Mobile arrived in the app store, so it no longer made any sense for Microsoft to continue maintaining the application it had created so that the users of their devices could access the social network through an application without having to do it via the web, although it is the best way if we want that the battery of our device lasts longer than usual.
Currently if you try to run the Windows 10 Mobile application, lThe application shows us a message informing us that the application is obsolete and that we uninstall it. At that moment we go to the app store and download the final version that Facebook has released and that is compatible with Windows 10 Mobile.
