Windows Phone 8.1 introduces a host of notable new features, most of which were unveiled in a preview released to developers on February 10, 2014. The Windows Phone software updates delivered through 'Preview for Developers' are complete, finished versions of the OS, as opposed to the Windows 10 Mobile builds in the Windows Insider program, which are preview versions of the software that are intended for users to try out new features before the final release and may contain bugs.

Users of the 'Preview for Developers' program do not void their warranty in most cases and can install any future firmware that is included with their carrier's official rollout of Windows Phone 8.1.

The program was intended for developers and enthusiasts to gain immediate access to OS updates as they become available from Microsoft, bypassing wireless carriers and OEMs who test changes before including device-specific firmware updates.

The ' Preview for Developers' program was initiated in October 2013 with the release of Windows Phone 8 Update 3. The final shipping code was released to registered users of the 'Preview for Developers' program on April 14, 2014, and to the general public in subsequent months, the actual release date being determined by the devices' wireless carriers and accompanied with firmware updates, including Lumia Cyan. The updated operating system's final name was leaked to the public when Microsoft released the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK to developers on February 10, 2014, but it wasn't until Microsoft's Build conference keynote on Apwhen Windows Phone 8.1 was officially announced, alongside the Windows 8.1 Update.

The updates included GDR2 ( Lumia Amber), which introduced features such as 'Data Sense', and GDR3 ( Lumia Black), which brought support for quad-core processors, 1080p high-definition screens of up to six inches, the addition of a 'Driving Mode,' and extra rows of live tiles for larger ' phablet' devices. These updates are delivered with corresponding firmware updates for the specific devices. Instead of waiting over a year to add new features to Windows Phone 8, Microsoft opted to release three incremental updates to its existing mobile OS. Although Microsoft had originally planned to release WP8.1 in late 2013, shortly after the release of its PC counterpart, general distribution of the new operating system was pushed back until early 2014. Windows Phone 8.1 was first rumored to be Windows Phone Blue, a series of updates to Microsoft's mobile operating system that would coincide with the release of Windows 8.1. Support has ended for Windows Phone 8.1 on July 11, 2017.

Windows Phone 8.1 is also the last version that uses the Windows Phone brand name as it was succeeded by Windows 10 Mobile.

All Windows Phones running Windows Phone 8 can be upgraded to Windows Phone 8.1, with release dependent on carrier rollout dates.
