Microsoft starts Windows Phone 8.1 support on June 24

Microsoft announced at its BUILD 2014 conference that Windows Phone 8.1 will be coming out over the summer and now the company says support for the operating system will start June 24. Its new announcement confirms that the public release for the new mobile OS will arrive sometime in June. Microsoft said support for Windows Phone 8.1 will be until July 11, 2017. This means you will be getting software updates for the OS until said date.

However, you must also remember that the release doesn’t mean you’ll be getting the update immediately. You will have to wait until the carriers and manufacturers send the update to supported devices.
