February last year, Whatsapp announced that come December 2016, the service would end its life on Blackberry OS including its latest 10th version. Fortunately, the end of support date was extended to 30th June 2017.
Blackberry loyals can get excited as the end-of-support date has been pushed back yet again; the company has reportedly confirmed the extension of its services for BlackBerry till December 2017.
According to a report by WhatsAppen, a Netherlands-based fan website, Whatsapp on the BlackBerry 10 and BlackBerry OS7+ received an update on Monday that extends support for the platforms until December 31, 2017. The changelog of the update, seen on the devices, states “changed client end-of-life date to December 31, 2017”.
Those using Whatsapp on their Nokia S40 phones can rejoice too. They too will continue enjoying WhatsApp until December 2018. However, those with Nokia S60 phones still have their end-of-support date as 30th June 2017.
