Blackberry is really mad at Facebook and WhatsApp as both companies have decided to stop supporting the platform. The company has posted a blog post that hides very little:
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.
Good luck with that. Clearly Facebook and WhatsApp which is owned by Facebook feels that there’s no point in making an app for the BlackBerry platform. BlackBerry users disagree as there is a online petition, which is currently closing in on 2,000 signatures. Which in the grand scheme of things is not a lot. Thus, while this might be entertaining to watch, nothing is likely to change.
