WhatsApp lives to die another day on the Blackberry 10 platform as WhatsApp extends support for BB devices yet again
If you have been following our news report religiously, you will know that Whatsapp planned to end support for Blackberry 10 devices by the end of June. The messaging company cited the inability of the Blackberry 10 OS to support the features of the messaging application as the reason for discontinuing the app on the platform. Blackberry’s Blackberry 10 OS wasn’t the only OS getting the chop, Nokia S40 and S60 OS were also going to be alienated as far as future WhatsApp versions were concerned. But all that changed, going by the recent announcement made by the messaging platform, WhatsApp will still be available to the Blackberry platform until December 2017. This is certainly good news for the Blackberry users whose devices still run Blackberry 10 OS. Needless to say they would not be forced to look for another device to access one of the worlds most used messaging application.
Meanwhile, Nokia S60 will be booted off the WhatsApp support list by June 30 while the S40 will be supported to the end of this year. Already, WhatsApp Blackberry client has released an auto-update with change-log clearly saying: changed client end-of-life date to December 31, 2017.
the end of bb is near
i believe these extensions are for a good reason. it is quite sad that this is happening to Blackberry
Can’t BlackBerry and whatsapp just come to term and collaborate to make things rosy for their customers? My heart goes with those who still use BB
Well i don’t see reason why they should scrap it off in the first place, just let it be
Stopping support for BB phones isn’t necessary to me. At least they’ve users on that platform as well
Well, the idea is best known to them
I thought the extension is finally over sef
They keep extending and extending the date. Why don’t they just leave it the way it is
I tire o! They should just let it be
Even the WhatsApp on blackberry looks outdated than the Android WhatsApp. Maybe WhatsApp want to be seen only on Android and IOS
When BlackBerry and whatsaap come to term, I believe they can still work together
BB is becoming outdated..
But why extending it again
I remember the time when it was the rave of the moment
In my own opinioni i like the decision the take
whatsapp pity for blackberry oh
Wish it will be permanent
thank God oooh because I no get money to buy another phone for now
Its nice sha..
Incredible
It is becoming something else.
Thanks for da update..
its glorious
