Since you are a hardened bb phone lover just get a cheap tecno or infinix phone as a side phone and use it for WhatsApp.

That's what I intend doing

I'll be following this thread like my life depends on it.I so much love BB

eROCK247:
tried it on my z10, didnt work. Had to download from blackberry world.

It works, you can Google whatsapp dot app or install mobogenie store(apk)
Then search for whatsapp inside the store and download

IamOpemipo:
With the current deadline of 31st of December 2016 by Whatsapp to make the social medial platform inaccessible for BlackBerry users what will be the fate of hardened BlackBerry lovers like me who wouldn't want to part with their smartphone and still wanna enjoy whatsapp??

I just hope whatsapp change their decision before the due date..

it's quite simple.

1.download telegram and tell your bb contacts to do same
2.if there be need to keep up with other contacts on whatsapp then buy a smaller/cheaper android.

BB good o forget. it's quite classy and SMART!

Do security wipe it will restore it, but you many lose you downloaded installed app even after backing it up with bblink.
Thereby re-downloading the lost apps

The answer is very simple, just do a Google search on how to install play store and Google service on BB10.... If You can't still get it done, then I wud be glad to help..

LilSmith55:
exactly.... thats my nxt plan after December.. I cant jst use android

Can u pls explain step by step on how to go about this installation? Since is unsupported by q10, do you think it will work? I love my q10 so much I ve not seen any phone like it not all this chinkos they re dishing out in the name of ndroid

Mine is no longer working since last week....

missiamme:
has there been any other alternative for Facebook app

yes.. if u're using a bb10 phone jst download facebook lite for android.. it is even better than facebook for blackberry.

Other apps will come and whatsapp will sit up

Ximonak:
Whatsapp pushed update to my z10 yesterday, I just ignored it...

Remember that's how Facebook pushed the last update, and those that updated said it changed their Facebook app to just Web browsing app.

But I just hope whatsapp apk will work after they remove the whatsapp in BlackBerry store. It's platform is even different it's different from bb10 whatsapp and it works

BlackBerry 10 Security and stability is da bomb (no matter the apps you have it the phone will not crash)
I hope they maintain it in their android phone too...

LOL ROTFLMLOFLROMLRLMRLOLROL So if international terrorists, secret agents, Obama, Hilary Clinton and high level foreign diplomats talk security, you sef go follow talk. Who cares about who you talking to?

Double post

Bossmd:

Try make friends with a good programmer/hacker and your BB will continue using Whatsapp, even after Dec 31.

*Crying* so my bb curve 8 watsapp wud soon be no more still #crying#

Well you can just purchase the new blackberry android phone...

jahstech:
Solution is pretty simple, I have 2 WhatsApp running on my BlackBerry Q10, I actually bought a Bb10 device to carry out the experiment first hand, my findings; no need to panic for BlackBerry 10 users, just upgrade to blackberry to the more stable 10.3.2.2836 to run apk more freely, install playstore and Google play services and you are good to go!! See screen shots.
Observe that am currently using 2 WhatsApp, I have Google play store installed, I have Xender and a host of other apk stuffs I need.. BlackBerry is so awesome
Typed this post from my UC Browser, android version

I have upgraded to blackberry os version: 10.3.2.798. Download and installed two differnt Google playstore, launched it. Buh it is bouncing back. Couldn't pop up. Question is, must my os be exact dat of urs stated above?

WhatsApp won dey epp mobile phone manufacturers to market their devices.

THe way forward is to download Wechat

You can reinstall the facebook app on your bb10; Using a computer, download SACHESI and FACEBOOK.BAR file( search for them on google). After the downloads, uninstall any bb10 facebook you have on your device, then connect your device to the computer via USB. Extract and run SACHESI then click on the .bar tab you see on the SACHESI ui. From there, locate and select the FACEBOOK.BAR file u downloaded earlier and it will automatically be installed.

NOTE : _{you may have to finish the installation manually on some devices.}

the default facebook bb10 app still works. just google search facebook for bb 10.bar and sideload to your phone.

imo is a better option -video calls easily sef
