Now I get why Windows Phone became irrelevant
I have finally sadly given up on my Windows phone as apps are now becoming inactive and I have just realised why it wasn't relevant enough to survive (even though I loved it). I bought a Pixel 3aXL (£117 on ebay) and installed a Windows launcher (launcher 10) and have effectively turned it into a Windows phone that I am familiar with, but everything works. Android was just too flexible and customisable for Windows to stay competitive, not sure how Apple have managed it though ?, this is how it looks, its just almost identical to a Windows interface now, an Android phone can be just like windows, but a Windows phone was always a windows phone. I have just found out that on this phone you can even launch the camera app when the phone is locked with a double press of the power switch and use the VOL down switch as a shutter, so even that is as good as my 950XL Microsoft also have many apps now for Android so you lose nothing (Outlook is there)
I think it unlikely that I will ever buy another brand new camera
