WhatsApp has actually revealed that it will be stopping support for a variety of phones by the end of this year.
Before smart devices, Nokia's Symbian was among the most dominating OS in the phone market. In spite of featuring on famous Nokia gadgets, the OS appears to be coming to an outright end soon.

The most popular messaging app, WhatsApp has actually made a statement pointing out the os that will not get support from the firm after the end of 2016. The statement was made back in February this year.

The Facebook-owned firm believes that WhatsApp had to integrate the current features and security within the app is not offered on these operating systems.
The post mentioned, "while these mobile phones have actually been a fundamental part of our story, they do not offer the type of capabilities we need to broaden our app's functions in the future."

These are the OS that will not have access to Whatsapp after December 31:

.BlackBerry Operating System and BlackBerry 10

.Nokia Symbian 40

.Nokia S60

.Android 2.1 and Android 2.2

.Windows Phone 7.1

.iPhone 3GS/iOS 6

The instant messaging firm advised upgrading to a more recent Android, iPhone, or Windows Phone prior to completion of 2016 to continue using WhatsApp.

This is no treat, whatsapp is less productive and not worthy of all this shakara.

So long I still have my BBM (smooth for business), kik and hangouts, I'm game..

You may be surprise to see your contact on the application.
Instead of Blackberry users panicking, with the high cost of phones, I feel telegram may be their alternative. It took a while for Whatsapp to get popular too, you know

You can't be any wrong.
I Ordered the z30 for 30k, the delivery man had 7 pieces of Z30's with him and he had already delivered 4 before me and he also had a couple Q10's and Z3's.
people are actually buying them a lot. Safe for the WhatsApp stuff, the Z30 is a steal for 30k. it still goes for 65-70 on jumia and konga.
