​Windows Phone is generally referred to as a collapsing mobile platform and there’s a good reason this is happening, as developers and users alike are jumping ship to Android and iOS.

Most often, market research firms put Windows Phone at a 0.5 percent market share, and in some cases, there are firms claiming that the platform is even lower than that and close to 0.1 percent.

But as far as NetMarketShare is concerned, Windows Phone is actually doing a little bit better, with January 2017 stats pointing to a market share of 1.48 percent. This could mean that Windows Phone has triple the market share that others are claiming, obviously if those figures are accurate.

While it’s hard to tell if these are figures that we could trust or not, it’s worth mentioning that NetMarketShare is currently one of the top companies providing us with market share data for desktop OS usage, and it’s very often used as source for reports on browser usage as well.

Android still king, but with a smaller kingdom

And if NetMarketShare is accurate, not only that Windows Phone is doing better, but Android also has a smaller market share than everyone else says. According to these stats, Android is powering some 63.99 percent of the smartphones across the world, and not more than 80 percent as some other firms are claiming.

Last but not least, there’s iOS, which NetMarketShare says is running on 32.03 percent of the phones out there, more than the estimated 15 to 20 percent we’ve heard of before.

Without a doubt, we shouldn’t take these figures for granted, but maybe, just maybe, Windows Phone isn’t really collapsing at the fast pace that so many people seem to think these days.

Microsoft itself remains tight-lipped on everything mobile, and this is probably what’s fueling all the bad news, but in the meantime, if you’re satisfied with Windows 10 Mobile and the direction it’s heading to, there shouldn’t be any reason to jump ship.
