“We are extremely disappointed in their decision as we know so many users love these apps. Of course, BlackBerry models running Android, such as the BlackBerry Priv, will continue to be able to run the Android version of Facebook’s apps. This week, Facebook and Facebook Messenger are following in WhatsApp’s footsteps, announcing that both will stop supporting BlackBerry’s own OS later this year. They are shutting down support for BlackBerry, along with operating systems like Symbian S60, S40 and ancient versions of Android. “While these mobile devices have been an important part of our story, they don’t offer the kind of capabilities we need to expand our app’s features in the future,” the company announced. BlackBerry-loving device clutchers are facing a tricky choice if they wish to continue to interact with their friends: WhatsApp, Facebook and Facebook Messenger all hit the “unfriend” button on the struggling phone maker’s latest operating system, BlackBerry 10.įacebook-owned WhatsApp made a hesitant and half-hearted debut on the BlackBerry platform three years ago, and announced at the tail-end of last month that it was rescinding that decision.
