Hmm... It's all just been bad news for blackberry lately. First, Whatsapp announced that by the end of the year it will no longer offer support for blackberry device. As if that wasn't bad enough, Facebook has also come out to announce that it will also end support for blackberry devices by the March 31st 2016.
Blackberry issued a statement on their official blog saying:
The app landscape continues to evolve, and in ways that are not always within our control. Recently, Facebook made the decision to discontinue support of their essential APIs for BlackBerry and WhatsApp announced they would end support for BlackBerry 10 and BBOS at the end of 2016.
We are extremely disappointed in their decision as we know so many users love these apps. We fought back to work with WhatsApp and Facebook to change their minds, but at this time, their decision stands (but let them know how you feel on social media, using the hashtag #ILoveBB10Apps). Despite this, we have worked hard to ensure our end users have the best experience in light of this decision, and are continuing to search for alternate solutions..
This pushes blackberry deeper down the drain. If you thought blackberry was dying, this seals the deal. Over a billion people use Facebook so I guess it's safe to say that the odds are against them.
Well, you can probably still save your beloved blackberry using the hashtag #IloveBB10apps.
Does Mark Zuckerberg have a personal vendetta against Blackberry? Seeing as he owns both apps.
