WhatsApp given a kick to blackberry and windows !!!

As per the WhatsApp, the decision that taken to simply prioritize the resources. “These platforms don’t offer the kind of capabilities we need to expand our app’s features in the future,” the Facebook-owned company confirmed in a support update, spotted by Venturebeat. “If you using one of these affected mobile devices, we recommend you to upgrade to a newer OS version, or to a newer Android running OS 4.0+, iPhone running iOS 7+, or Windows Phone 8.1+ so that you can continue using WhatsApp.”

The decision affects devices,BlackBerry OS or BlackBerry 10, and any smartphone running Windows Phone 8.0 or older. This will start going to effect from starting of 2018, and the users of such devices won’t be able to create new accounts or re-verify existing accounts.

The apps themselves will continue to work, though WhatsApp warns that they’ll be on borrowed time. “Because we will no longer actively develop for these platforms,” it cautions, “some features may stop functioning at any time.”

I know switching to a new device isn’t so easy like to eat. Actually getting started with any new conversations from an existing account is not aproblem, once you have installed a WhatsApp, you verify your number and your contacts should show up as usual. Unfortunately this is not the case for chat history, right now WhatsApp doesn’t support transferring old conversations between platforms.

Top products just see if you like than think to buy I recommend is to send a complete chat history as an email, for archiving purposes. Not ideal, but it is better than losing all your whole important conversation as you migrate to another platform with a little more future ahead of it.

WhatsApp has been not going to pay attention on aging smartphone versions or deprecate for his doing . Nokia’s S40, which is still fairly popular on feature phones in developing markets, has just over a year left, but will fall under the same limits as BlackBerry 10 and Windows Phone 8.0 come December 31, 2018. Beyond that, Android versions 2.3.7 and older will do the same until February 1, 2020.

Back in October, they introduced support for recalling messages. Earlier that same month, they announced that they would add location sharing for users with their friends.
