so wetin whatspp dey feel like now? Are they the ones to now dictate the type of phone for people to use?

I pity whatspp, i see pride on their wings. They want to take away the very essence of what made people fell in love with the app which is 'usability across platforms'.

That is their headache. Sooner or later a company will build a chat app with classic that is usable on divers platforms and phones. Na that time their eye go open.
until then, for now whatsapp rules.

Blackberry Z30 has got android OS 5.1 though, but still uses blackberry application world, would have been nicer with the Google play application platform.

Go and throw away that toy, mister man; you bought a clone.

Are you kidding me?

The first BB device with Android OS is the BB Priv, to be followed by BB Neon, BB Argon and BB Mercury in the Q3, Q4 of 2016 and Q1 of 2017 respectively.

BB Z30 runs on BB OS 10.2 upgradeable to 10.3.1

Yes. The Blackberry Priv runs 100% Android. It'll be unaffected. It's the OS that matters here, not the manufacturer.

So those using those expensive BB Porsche and Passport should do what now?
My brother, I use a Passport and Z3. I have been so upset since I heard this earlier this year. I can't throw off d Passport cos of Bbm channels which is integral to me now. So I have to buy an Android phone just to keep whatsapp. I can't even imagine how the app became so important to me overnight. I even conduct business on it. Sigh. Zuckerberg has done me strong thing sad

Zara, which do you want, android version of whatsapp or Google play store? whichever it is, the first step is to download Google play store and its other component apps from:

http://forums.crackberry.com/android-apps-amazon-store-apk-files-f413/google-play-store-blackberry-10-read-first-post-instructions-985344/

Every instruction you need is clearly elucidated in that link.

Importantly, you shall need to open a gmail account in case you don't have one. You shall need it in setting up your Google play store.

Let me know if you have any difficulty.
