We told you some time ago that Whatsapp announced that it will end support for Blackberry devices and lower Android OS by the end of this year. As a matter of fact, a lot of Blackberry users are already looking at options to upgrade to as the year is drawing to a close.

Well, WhatsApp has now tampered “justice” with mercy as they have now extended that date to the 30th of June next year. Good news eh?

The information that was posted in WhatsApp’s Frequently asked questions segment of their blog reads thus:

“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″
Other devices that operate on the lower Android platforms will still see their support ended in early 2017 as planned though. These devices(OS) include the following:

Android 2.1 and Android 2.2
Windows Phone 7
iPhone 3GS/iOS 6
So if you have that small money that you have grudgingly budgeted for an Android phone upgrade from your Blackberry, you can relax now. Merry Christmas in advance guys!!
