T-Mobile killing its Windows Phone app effective August 25

T-Mobile one of the most active Windows Phone supporters in the United States is giving up on Microsoft's mobile platform, which makes sense considering the Redmond-based company's latest moves in the smartphone space.

The Uncarrier has started to send messages to some of its customers to let them know the T-Mobile app for Windows Phone will no longer be supported beyond August 25, 2017.

What does this really mean for T-Mobile customers who own Windows Phone handsets? Well, after August 25, they will be forced to use the carrier's website to check their accounts instead of the mobile app that's now still working.


T-Mobile's decision comes in line with its previous decisions, as the carrier removed the last high-end Windows Phone handset, the Alcatel Idol 4S, from its portfolio a few months ago. However, we can't help but wonder if T-Mobile will revive the app if Microsoft is back with more Windows Phone handsets.
