Yes! Whatsapp Extends Blackberry Shutdown

WhatsApp Extends Blackberry Shutdown Till June
2017
WhatsApp earlier this year announced they would no
longer be supporting BlackBerry OS and BlackBerry
10 handsets by the end of 2016 but it seems they
have changed their mind.

According to an update in the FAQ section of the
WhatsApp App it has now been extended to June
2017.

WhatsApp support for mobile devices
As announced in our blog, we will soon be ending
support for certain devices. On June 30, 2017 , we
will no longer support the following platforms:

BlackBerry OS and BlackBerry 10 Nokia S40 Nokia
Symbian S60 The following platforms will no longer
be supported at the beginning of 2017:

Android 2.1 and Android 2.2 Windows Phone 7
iPhone 3GS/iOS 6
These platforms don't offer the kind of capabilities
we need to expand our app's features in the future.

If you use one of these affected mobile devices, we
recommend upgrading to a newer Android running
OS 2.3+, a Windows Phone 8+, or an iPhone
running iOS 7+ before the end of 2016 to continue
using WhatsApp.

The new update for the BlackBerry 10 version is
available through BlackBerry World, it should be
however noted that this just resets the time-bomb
built into the app. a whole lot of people have been
trying to dispose their phones to get compatible
ones but i guess now they'll wait a little more.

Don't forget to share with your Friends :-)
