In the run up to the release of Windows 10 for phones, Microsoft has said that it will stop support for Lumia apps.
In a post on the Microsoft blog, Tiina Jaatinen, Editor-in-Chief for Conversations at the Microsoft Devices blog said, “In order to sharpen our focus on our core Windows 10 Camera and Photo apps, we are ending support for some Lumia apps. These apps won’t be removed from your devices, but they’ll no longer be available from the Windows Phone Store (with immediate effect), and after October 30, 2015, online services and updates for these apps will end.”
To begin with, online services for Lumia Storyteller, Lumia Beamer, Photobeamer, and Lumia Refocus will cease, and they will no longer be updated after October 30, 2015.
Although Lumia Panorama and Video Uploader will continue to work on your device, they will stop receiving updates or support.
None of these apps will be available in the Windows Phone Store with immediate effect, but if you already have them installed, they won’t be removed from your device.
The post added, “The stories you see in the Lumia Storyteller app on your phone won’t be affected and will continue to work within the app, but stories you’ve published on the “online stories” site will no longer be available from the web service after October 30, 2015. To keep the images and videos in your online stories, open the Storyteller app, select online stories, and view each published story on the web. Then from the website, download all the images and videos that you want to keep. Be sure to do this before October 30, 2015, when the website will no longer be available.”
