Facebook ends its app support for Blackberry BB10 Operating System

[Nick Paviour]

Earlier this month WhatsApp announced that it would only continue to support Blackberry's Android powered Priv handset not the BB10 Operating System at the end of 2016.

 

Today the leader of BlackBerry’s App Ecosystem and Developer Outreach team Lou Gazzola announced that Facebook will end its support for the BB10 OS too, which means user will now have to log in to Facebook via the website.

 

BlackBerry said that it was “extremely disappointed” in Facebook’s decision, because “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, 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.”

I see windowsphone being the next candidate for removed apps.

Does anyone even use blackberry anymore?

Given the fact that Blackberry itself has turned to Android for their devices, this isn't exactly a shocker.

This is a very sad day for all 8 BB10 users.

8? Well, that is awfully generous.

 

6 would be more accurate, honestly.
