Windows 10 Mobile April 2018 update coming to compatible handsets according to Microsoft

Microsoft's own support page now includes a bulletin from the software giant that says Windows 10 Mobile powered handsets will be receiving the April 2018 software update. As Microsoft notes on its support page, "Availability may vary by manufacturer, model, country or region, mobile operator or service provider, hardware limitations, and other factors." While these handsets automatically download and install updates when available, you can try to get it manually by going to Settings > Update & security > Phone update > Check for updates. The version of Windows 10 Mobile that includes the update is 1803.

Some users of Windows 10 Mobile handsets tried to pull out the April 2018 update manually, and came away with bupkis. As we noted, Microsoft warned that not every model is receiving the update. Still, there is a chance that this is all a mistake; after all, Windows Phone is not exactly a top priority for Microsoft at the moment-if it ever was.

Microsoft will officially walk away from Windows 10 Mobile on January 8th, 2019. Until then, the company will support the platform with bug fixes and security updates, but will not disseminate any new features for the phones.
