In an "End of Support" page, the company told users that Windows 10 Mobile will stop receiving new security updates after December 10, 2019. All mobile devices upgraded to Windows 10 Mobile version 1709 will receive updates until the end of support day.
Those who, for whatever reason, still have their hearts set of using a Windows 10 Mobile handset will still have the option of purchasing a third-party support service (if those even exist) but those efforts will not be supported by Microsoft. Instead, Microsoft suggests moving to a supported Android or iOS device for your mobile needs. The company recently updated their official FAQ page confirming that Windows 10 Mobile now reaching End of Support. Settings backups will continue until March 10, 2020, along with backups for select apps.
Microsoft's end-of-support announcement is actually dated December 21, 2018, but it's just now getting publicized, it seems. Microsoft advises those who still have a Windows smartphone to manually create a backup using the built-in tool before the sunset date. The support for Windows 10 mobile ends December 10, 2019.
Microsoft is said to be working on a series of foldable devices that will be powered by Windows 10.

The company previously announced Windows Phone's death back in 2017. Alongside the company is also building apps that would work across foldable as well as dual screen devices. Skype and WhatsApp had also withdrawn their services from phones run on Windows.
Will All Windows 10 Devices Will Get Updates?
After that date, there will be no more free support, no more software updates, no more security patches, etc., for any Windows 10 phone.
Windows Mobile had some positives, but an app ecosystem wasn't one of them, and buying a Windows phone nearly always meant not relying on apps, and getting a less impressive experience than counterparts on Android and iOS. Both Android and iOS users can now use Office Suite seamlessly on their devices. In other words, it's unclear at this time what a Microsoft 365 bundle will have to offer consumers, and Nadella did not elaborate. If it starts with 10, you've the Windows 10 Mobile. Later, Microsoft took over and continued the production of the Lumia from Nokia.
