Whatsapp To Discontinue Support On Both Blackberry And Nokia Phones
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but we all have to get informed on recent developments in the tech world, but this is a big hit to blackberry phones, even the BB10 series are not excluded as whatsapp has announced that they will discontinue support on all series of blackberry, nokia, android running on 2.1 and others.
as some of us know already, earlier this week whatsapp celebrated it's 7 years anniversary with over 1 billion user and therefore they announced that he following devices will no longer offer the kind of capabilities that WhatsApp requires to expand their app’s features in the future.
The discontinuation support for these devices will deeply affect developing countries like Nigeria because most people still uses old Nokia phone. The like of Nokia asha 200 and 203, Nokia 6100, 6200, Nokia c2 and c3 just to mention a few. I know most of us still love our old nokia phones. WhatsApp suggests "upgrading to a newer Android, iPhone, or Windows Phone" if you want to keep on using the service — if not, you'll need to find another messaging service by the end of the year before the service got discontinued.
