Back in February last year, WhatsApp announced that it will stop supporting versions of BlackBerry OS – including BlackBerry 10 – by the end of 2016.
That, however didn’t happen, and the date was pushed to June 30, 2017.
Now, the Facebook-owned service has confirmed that the support has been extended yet again till 31 December 2017 this time.
Aside from BlackBerry, support for Nokia S40 has also been extended.
“We will extend BlackBerry until the end of 2017. Nokia S40 longer supported until the end of 2018,” whatsappen.nl quotes WhatsApp co-founder, Brian Acton, as saying.
In fact, WhatsApp’s Blackberry client has started receiving a new update, with change-log clearly saying: changed client end-of-life date to December 31, 2017.
The app, however, will stop working on Nokia S60 devices after June 30 2017.
