In these phones will not be able to open new accounts of WHATSAPP in 2018

The app will work with limitations on BlackBerry OS phones and Windows phone 8.0


WHATSAPP has reported that as of January 1, 2018 users of some mobiles and platforms will not be able to create new accounts or verify existing ones, although they will be able to continue using the Telephony application. At the beginning of the year, users with mobile BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry 10 and Windows Phone 8.0 or earlier will be able to access the app, but in a limited way.

The company has specified on its website that Nokia S40 phones can continue to use all the features of WHATSAPP until December 31, 2018. The 2.3.7 and previous Android operating system versions will be compatible with the app until February 1, 2020.

Because the company is developing new functions, some aspects of the application might stop working at any time, as the company clarified. The company has been justified in ensuring that some mobiles "do not have the capacity required to expand the list of functions" of the application in the


WHATSAPP has also reminded that the following operating systems and applications are not compatible with the application today: Android operating system versions prior to 2.3.3; Windows Phone 7; iOS 3gs/iOS 6 and Nokia Symbian S60.

WHATSAPP is the main messaging application, with more than 1 billion of active users, according to company data. Other applications, such as Telegram — 100 million of active users in February 2016 — and social networks, such as Snapchat — 100 million of active users each day — are growing in user numbers, although they are very far from the WhatsApp logs.

It can not be said that this definitive blackout is going to catch the affected by surprise, since WhatsApp already advanced last year that the service would cease to be operational in a series of old phones but, however, still enjoy a lot of popularity between Some users. This group of irreducible who refuses to throw away a terminal that continues to give a good service will now have to choose between either buy a new smartphone or completely isolate and disappear from the most popular messaging platform in our country. It is definitive: there will be no more periods of grace and the next June 30 WhatsApp stop working on the phones below detail.

Although the list is not broad, it affects a good number of terminals that continue to use many users (WHATSAPP figures in a 0.5%) and, in addition, in their day were emblematic. So, whoever has a BlackBerry-both with BlackBerry OS and BlackBerry 10-can go saying goodbye to groups in which it is present or opt to buy a new mobile. Fans of the Canadian brand should choose one of the latest models in this way that Android if they want to remain faithful to it. Another will happen to the owners of the Nokia platforms S40 and S60. Both are in a extensive range of mobile phones, many of which remain fully operational.
