WhatsApp is to end support for a number of old operating systems such as Blackberry 10 because the company wanted to focus development on the mobile platforms that the majority of people use. WhatsApp will stop working on these old operating systems by December 2016.
The reason for dropping support of these operating systems is that they're no longer updated or installed on new devices. The company of Blackberry said that they are actively exploring alternatives for BlackBerry users once the support of WhatsApp ends in late 2016. This operating system accounts for less than 1% of the market. To the contrary, when WhatsApp started in 2009 about 70% of smartphones sold had operating systems by BlackBerry and Nokia.
This is the full list of operating systems that WhatsApp will stop suporting:
- Android 2.1 and Android 2.2
- Blackberrt OS 7 and earlier
- Blackberry 10
- Nokia S40
- Nokia Symbian S60
- Windows Phone 7.1
My opinion:
I don't agree with that these mobiles which work with an "old" operating system don't have the support by WhatsApp. There are people who can't buy a new next generation mobile and with their old mobiles are so happy. This is only to do business and for self-interest.
