One of the most popular messaging service, WhatsApp is still receiving new updates for Windows Phones Devices. However, WhatsApp is built for Windows Phone 8.1 operating system and its performance on Windows 10 Mobile is not really good. In fact, on Windows Phone 8.1, WhatsApp face many issues like loading and resuming screens.

Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system is out for a while now. Futhemore, Mirosoft has also released Windows 10 Mobile Upgrade for Windows Phone 8.1 Devices. Many companies and developers have already upgraded their app to add support for Windows 10 with revamped design. Although, we are still waiting for Facebook to roll out a new update to WhatsApp with revamped design built for Windows 10. However, we have got some sad news for Windows Phone enthusiasts.

In an exclusive chat with WABetaInfo, we learned that WhatsApp has no plan for a new universal Windows 10 app. Futhermore, there wouldn’t be a new Windows 10 Mobile app built from scratch. However, the company will continue to focus on Windows Phone 8.1 and release new features for the app.

It is not a suprising move by WhatsApp. As there are more devices running on Windows Phone 8.1 than Windows 10 Mobile. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
