These mobile operating systems will no longer Support WhatsApp 2017
The management
of the popular Messengers WhatsApp has now informed which operating systems
they will support in the future. At the end of 2016 now the support for
BlackBerry and Nokia is fully adjusted - also old Android and Windows Phone
versions will soon no longer supported.
The announcement
by WhatsApp wants to support in the coming year only the three most popular
mobile operating systems continues. "Today, running 99.5 percent of
smartphones sold with Android, iOS or Windows", puts it in a blog post of
messenger developer. Not too long ago, this Nokia and BlackBerry were still at
70 percent market share, now they have almost disappeared from the screen
surface.
The smart phone
market has changed so much in recent years that the decision is understandable.
Still, there was loud WhatsApp quite a "hard decision" to drop Nokia
and BlackBerry. But for the development of new functions, it is now absolutely
necessary to restructure the team, and to withdraw from some projects.
Declining
numbers of users
For most
systems, it should in fact only be a very small proportion of users. The
complete of Support for BlackBerry, including BlackBerry 10, but surprised the
community yet.
WhatsApp will adjust this year; work on the
following smartphone operating systems:
- BlackBerry, including BlackBerry 10
- Nokia S40
- Nokia Symbian S60
- Android 2.1 and Android 2.2
- Windows Phone 7.1
