| Google extends sunset date for Google Sync to 31st December 2013 |
The sunset date for Google Sync services on Windows Phone has been extended to December 31 by Google.
As, Google Sync allows users to access Google Mail, Calendar and Contacts via the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync protocol, to synchronise email, contacts, and calendar on their phones.This means that users will be able to sync their Google calendars and contacts with new devices till the new sunset date.
As earlier, Google had decided to extend the deadline for supporting Google Sync on new Windows Phone devices till 31st July 2013. Google had earlier announced that it would cease support for its Google Sync service for new users starting 30th January 2013, while it would continue to support existing sync connections.
"We've reached an agreement with Google to extend support for new Windows Phone connections to the Google Sync service through December 31, 2013," said the Microsoft spokesperson.
The update has only been rolled out to select non-Nokia devices only. Nokia's Lumia Windows Phone smartphones, which constitute a majority of all smartphones on the platform, are yet to receive the update, though some new Lumia phones (Lumia 925, 1020) already run the latest version of the OS.
If Google would have not extended the deadline, Windows Phone users who haven't received the update won't have been able to setup their Google account on the OS beyond July 31.
