Spotify deny claims that they will cease further update to the Spotify app for Windows Phone. But updates for Windows 8 will stop.
According to tweets from Spotify and Windows phone user Alessandro S. Windows 8 will no longer receive updates. Spotify stated: “We can confirm Windows Phone 8.x is no longer supported. You can still use our Spotify application on the associated devices but it will no longer receive any further updates and download the application. We apologise for the inconvenience.”
In regards to Windows 10 support, an ambiguous promise was stated: “Regarding Windows 10, we can’t say at the moment if or when any specific release will be out, but as soon as there is something new, you will receive a notification on your device that an update is available and prompted to download it.”
Spotify tweeted Alessandro directly to back up their promise to support Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.
@S__Alessandro Hey! To clarify – we still support Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 10. More info here: https://t.co/csPnLBGfVU /W

Bad news for Spotify users using the older version of Windows Phone. Windows 10 users can most likely expect an update. If you don’t. Panic stations are justified to be manned.
