"Based on your comments on HERE 360 and elsewhere, we know many of you are already having a good experience using Windows Maps", it says.

Universal Windows 10 apps developed on the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) will head to Xbox One this winter. All this while, the company could cater to Windows 10 users, thanks to a workaround that will no longer be effective after June 30. "As the market evolves, we keep in step by introducing our apps for new operating systems while stopping support for others." said the blog post that seems to have explained in detail about how it affects both the Windows 10 and the Windows Phone 8 users. Microsoft is reportedly aiming for 1 billion devices running Windows 10 in two to three years. HERE was previously owned by Nokia, but was sold to a consortium which includes Audi, BMW, and Daimler.

After losing a popular app earlier this week, Windows 10 Mobile gains another. Users can also browse Moments, Twitter's content hubs for trending stories.

Windows App Studio Installer is now available in the Windows Store.

Twitter has announced the launch of Twitter for Windows 10 on mobile phones, following its release on desktop and tablets. One will be able to check out the Lenovo branding that is located on the top-left, while there is a button with the Windows logo right smack at the bottom-center.

The Windows 10 Mobile is an operating system that was aimed for smartphones, but since the hardware requirements are quite similar to those on Windows Phone 8, more OEMs install it on their tablets.

Users who are waiting for the latest Windows upgrade, please note that according to Microsoft the Lumia device needs to have the Lumia Denim software update installed. The company has seen major names such as Pinterest pull out of Windows 10, with the platform still lagging well behind Android and iOS.
