Whatsapp Gives Up On Blackberry, Nokia, And More!!!! by Sanni45(m): 9:07pm On Feb 29, 2016 |
Facebook-owned WhatsApp recently
turned seven years old. What better way
to celebrate the milestone than cutting
ties with the past? This past weekend,
the popular messaging app said it will
cease support for seven aging and little-
used operating systems by the end of
2016. No, smart alecks, Windows 10
Mobile isn't on the list—but Blackberry
10 is.
In fact, all versions of BlackBerry are set
to go WhatsApp-less, along with Nokia
S40, Nokia Symbian S60, Android 2.1
and 2.2 (Eclair and Froyo), and Windows
Phone 7.1.
WhatsApp says these operating
systems are getting the boot because
they don’t have the ability to support
upcoming features the service has
planned. The company also said it
wants to turn its attention to “the mobile
platforms the vast majority of people
use
” instead of supporting legacy operating
systems with dwindling user bases. |
