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.

Hmmmm, what will be their gain? Is this another form of change?
