SAN FRANCISCO (Web Desk) – In a recent update, WhatsApp messenger has extended its support for BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry 10, Nokia S40 and Nokia Symbian S60 till June 30, 2017.
However; the messaging app will discontinue operations for other specified mobile devices.
In a February blog post, WhatsApp celebrated its seventh birthday and did a little early spring cleaning at the same time. In addition to announcing that it will end support for BlackBerry devices (all of them, including BlackBerry 10) the company also announced Nokia S40, Nokia Symbian S60, Android 2.1 and 2.2, Windows Phone 7.1 and iPhone 3GS/iOS 6 will also get the axe.
The devices “don’t offer the kind of capabilities we need to expand our app’s features in the future,” the blog posts says.
“This was a tough decision for us to make, but the right one in order to give people better ways to keep in touch with friends, family, and loved ones using WhatsApp.”
WhatsApp recommends users upgrade to a new device in order to continue using its messaging service.
