Microsoft is ending support for some Lumia apps, which will no longer be available from the Windows Phone Store.

“When the Nokia Devices & Services business joined Microsoft last year, we began working on a unified Camera and Photos experience that combines the best ideas and innovations from both companies,” said Microsoft.

The company said that while these apps won’t be removed from users’ devices, they’ll no longer be available from the Windows Phone Store.

Microsoft added that after 30 October, online services and updates for these apps will end.

Lumia Storyteller, Lumia Beamer, Photobeamer, and Lumia Refocus will no longer have online services, and they will no longer be updated after 30 October.

Lumia Panorama and Video Uploader will continue to work if you have them, but they will no longer receive updates or support.

These apps are no longer available in the Windows Phone Store, but they won’t be removed from your device.
