Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update will start rolling out on 9 August [Update]

Many people were disappointed to learn that the Anniversary Update for Windows phones did not start rolling out yesterday, despite the update landing for PCs, Xbox One and HoloLens.

Now new information has come to light that suggests the update will start rolling out on August 9, which is next Tuesday. Microsoft’s official Lumia India Twitter handle confirmed the date in a Tweet.

@VinayRavipati Thanks for reaching out! For mobile, it will be available on August 9, 2016. If you have any queries, we"ll be here for you!

Update: Lumia India has since removed the tweet for unknown reasons, but have replied to questions regarding the Anniversary Update citing only the August 2 rollout, which does not apply to any Lumia or Windows phones.
