WhatsApp the popular cross-platform messaging service, has decided to cut support for a number of those platforms. That includes all versions of BlackBerry OS, including BlackBerry 10, by the end of 2016.

WhatsApp will also end support for Nokia S40, Nokia Symbian S60, Android 2.1, Android 2.2 and Windows Phone 7.1 by the end of the year. From the WhatApp blog:

While these mobile devices have been an important part of our story, they don't offer the kind of capabilities we need to expand our app's features in the future. This was a tough decision for us to make, but the right one in order to give people better ways to keep in touch with friends, family, and loved ones using WhatsApp. If you use one of these affected mobile devices, we recommend upgrading to a newer Android, iPhone, or Windows Phone before the end of 2016 to continue using WhatsApp.

The company said it was making this decision so it could "focus our efforts on the mobile platforms the vast majority of people use."

If you're using WhatsApp on BB10, what do you think of WhatsApp's decision?

I hope some persons woudn't brag that whatsapp would still allow cross platform on all device when it's implemented

Na them sabi..till then...still rocking my BB curve 1.

cutting support doesn't mean it won't work on the platform again. what it means there won't be anymore patches, updates and security.

hackers will beginning to have a field time with it.

blackberry and Nokia already abandon those platform. so what are they still doing with it.

I can't even believe whatapp still updating symbian and asha

I can't stand whatsapp since Facebook bought them, arrogant oafs, telegram is far better in my opinion, the just need to add voice calls...
