Just in case you had forgotten, WhatsApp will be dropping support for
devices running on BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry 10 and Windows Phone 8.0
and older devices on December 31, 2017. Starting next year, you will not
be able to use WhatsApp on these platforms.
Earlier this year, WhatsApp confirmed
its plans to sunset the BlackBerry and Windows Phone versions of the
service. The company also announced deadlines for other platforms.
Nokia's Series 40 devices, for example, will be supported till December
31, 2018 while Android 2.3.7 and older devices will be supported till
February 1, 2020.
WhatsApp is quite remarkable in its support for older platforms and
devices. However, there is a limit to everything and we can't blame them
for dropping support for these platforms, even though it is coming long
after their makers dropped support for them.
On the upside, this might be the reason for some users to finally upgrade to newer devices.
