Which BlackBerry 10 devices are supported?


As announced in our blog, https://blog.whatsapp.com/10000617/WhatsApp-support-for-mobile-devices WhatsApp will no longer be supported on BlackBerry 10 by the end of 2016..

Until then, we support any BlackBerry 10 device that has Software Release 10.0.10.82 or later, otherwise known as BB OS Version 10.0.10.648..

Note: The BlackBerry Priv is a supported Android device

Looks like only High-end phones will be supported?

dont think alot of BB users know this yet. I still see people buying BBs or locking themself into a 2 year contract so they pretty screwed...

The BB10 is not such a terrible phone. I wonder if it would work if you just kept the old version of WhatsApp

If Whatsapp isn't supported then I expect FB and IG to follow.

How is WhatsApp rubbish?

I assume Telegram would still work on your BB?

Assumptions being the mother of all f c k ups. I have not owned a BB since the days when faxing was still "a thing". The merits of Telegram over Whatscrap have been debated Ad nauseam on this forum. Each to their own I suppose? My choice is Telegram.

What does exactly does "not supported" mean? No updates and new versions? No tech support?

Surely the existing version will continue to work indefinitely?

Android Version works but you cant send any type of media or files it requires Google play services. Read more on crackberry.com there is no solid solution yet. And. Whatsapp will stop working also together

No. I know with Android if you're 2 0r 3 versions behind. They'll force you to update, and won't be able to use WhatsApp.
