WhatsApp now available on BlackBerry 10 platform
Posted on 22:49 by Maria Scott
In what is good news for probably a lot
of users, BlackBerry has announced that the popular instant messaging
application, WhatsApp, is now available on the platform. This is very
much in line with the company’s communication towards the end of the
previous week, which confirmed that the application will be arriving on
BB10 this week.
“BlackBerry
has always been about bringing people together in a way that is fast,
reliable and impactful. WhatsApp is a highly anticipated mobile
messaging app that connects users to their contacts on several
platforms, and we are pleased to work with WhatsApp to bring their
service to our customers.” said Martyn Mallick, VP Global Alliances and
Business Development at BlackBerry.
“BlackBerry has been a great platform for WhatsApp for many years. Delivering WhatsApp on BlackBerry 10
devices is in line with our goals of ensuring that our customers around
the world can continue to communicate with the most important people in
their lives.” said WhatsApp co-founder Brian Acton.
The application is available as a free download on BlackBerry World
app store, and the app developers are offering this service free for a
year. On the completion of one year, the service will be chargeable at
Rs 55 per year. Like its siblings on Android and iOS, the BB10 version
of WhatsApp uses the data connection to send and receive messages. The
BB10 version has the complete set of notifications, and full integration
with BlackBerry Contacts. What seems to be missing is the integration
in the BlackBerry Hub, but that would be nitpicking!
