Without announcing it publicly, it is already known through a question on the Frequently Asked Questions page  about the Life Cycle: Operating Systems of Microsoft Devices that the Redmond company will no longer support its Windows 10 Mobile operating system next December.

To the question, what is the life cycle of Windows Mobile? In those Frequently Asked Questions, the answer is as follows:

Windows 10 Mobile, version 1709 (released in October 2017) is the latest version of Windows 10 Mobile and Microsoft will complete support on December 10, 2019. The end date of the support applies to all Windows 10 Mobile products, including Windows 10 Mobile and Windows 10 Enterprise Mobile.

Windows 10 Mobile users will no longer be eligible to receive new security updates, non-security related reviews, free support assistance options, or Microsoft online technical content updates for free.

Also in the Frequently Asked Questions of the Windows 10 Mobile Support Completion.

With Windows 10 Mobile OS support, we recommend that customers move to a compatible Android or iOS device. The mission statement of Microsoft to train each person and each organization on the planet to achieve more, forces us to support our mobile applications on those platforms and devices.

Customers who expect to continue using their Windows 10 Mobile device after December 10, 2019 are advised to manually create a backup using Settings -> Update and Security -> Backup -> More options and then pressing Make backup copy security now before that date.

So if you have a mobile phone with Windows 10 Mobile, it is best to think about which device to migrate and of course make the backup of your current mobile with Windows 10 Mobile.
