Whatsapp have just made many blackberry users to switch to much better telegram!! the decision to stop the support for bb will be a big lost for Whatsapp and advantage for other social massaging platform.

      This is pathetic for them to do so. Platform is not popular that does not mean people have stopped using it. Total bulls**t!!

            There was a time when most of the chatting was done on bbm and at that time blackberry have supported whatsapp to be on thier platform . Now whats app doesn't want Blackberry , not done , not happy with it at all , my love for Blackberry is eternal.

                They just can not break the security of BB or spy on it. .this is their main reason..users of BB are more than 500 million still due to system security

                  Personally, I don't think they should drop support for BB OS10. Even though it doesn't show it there is still a lot of people that use the blackberry platform. Well I guess these people will have to find an alternative to Whatsapp. Maybe Viber or something else.

                    Yup, just support Android and iOS. Everyone else can make the simple transition :D

                          Wow this is very sad. Just got a blackberry passport. Does this mean that whatsapp wont run from January 2017?

                            very harsh!!! Whatsapp isn't doing anything good especially stopping bb platform from getting support! most blackberry uses should really be disappointed with Whatsapp for doing this!.

                                It is sad apps are still platform dependent. When will truly universal apps will come.

                                  BB os 10 means even highend phones like Passport and Classic will also loose support. Shocking....
