This is an everlasting blow on all blackberry users not just blackberry users but to all windows phone 7.1 users because WhatsApp have announced to discontinue supports for all version of Blackberry OS including Blackberry OS 10 and older version of blackberry devices and to those Android still running OS 2.1 and 2.2.

WhatsApp earlier this week celebrated 7years of existence and therefore announce that the following devices will no longer offer the kind of capabilities that WhatsApp requires to expand their app’s features in the future.

*BlackBerry, including BlackBerry 10
*Nokia S40
*Nokia Symbian S60
*Android 2.1 and Android 2.2
*Windows Phone 7.1

This explains one of the reasons why Blackberry wants to dump Blackberry OS to Android OS. So if you are still using any of the above devices, its time to be planning on getting an iPhone or Android devices. Hence, Blackberry users sorry to blow you right in the eye because there is no future for Blackberry Phones running on Blackberry OS.

Those of you still running Android 2.1 and 2.2 OS, your next neighbor shouldn’t know that’s what you are running before you’ll entirely disappoint Android family. Nokia S60 and S40 users, Infinix Hot 3 is about to be launch at a more cheaper price, hence its advisable you get yourself one before the end of the year.

I thought this was a spurious post but after researching online, the news is actually true.
I think it is a bad and ludicrous decision to discontinue whatsapp for many low-end devices. Many people in Indonesia, Nigeria and other parts of Asia use blackberry and low-end phones. Discontinuing whatsapp for these devices will drastically reduce the whatsapp userbase and inconvenience existing users in the aforementioned countries. It also proves that Whatsapp's objective to connect people all over the world is nothing but a bloody lie. I love it when people and companies self-sabotage their own success by themselves e.g P-Square and now whatsapp. Goodluck battling a rival company that will emerge to acquire the abandoned users.
