Blackberry users get Whatsapp extention
WhatsApp has confirmed it will extend support for BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry 10, Nokia S40, and Nokia Symbian S60 until 30 June 2017.
POLOKWANE – Following a warning last year that Whatsapp would no longer work on certain devices because their operating systems could no longer support the new characteristics of the app, WhatsApp has confirmed it will extend support for BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry 10, Nokia S40, and Nokia Symbian S60 until 30 June 2017.
While BlackBerry and Nokia users have been spared from the initial cutoff date and now get to use WhatsApp for another six months, anyone with an iPhone 3GS or a device running iOS 6, Windows Phone 7, or Android 2.1 and 2.2 will no longer be able to use WhatsApp.
The company previously said it needed to begin focusing efforts on the mobile platforms the vast majority of people use, rather than all the different niche platforms that WhatsApp had supported since launch in 2009.
