    Hi,
    Due to the unreliability of BBM to ios I feel I may have to install whatsapp so I have a couple of quick questions.

    Is it a native app on bb10?

    If so can you prevent access to contacts as I can't have my work contacts uploaded to their servers?

    There is a native app

    I'm not sure but nobody's contacts are uploaded to their servers. If they are in their servers they will appear on your contacts that use WhatsApp otherwise it will just give you the option to invite them to WhatsApp.

    Hope this helped?

    I'm pretty sure that if you decline access to your contacts you won't be able to start a conversation with someone. There are no usernames or PINs, it works with phone numbers.

    Nothing at all.
    You must allow it and afterwards you can see who use it too. So you don't bring their numbers on any server you don't need to invite them you can just skip.

    Will post a picture maybe tomorrow when I'm backhome

    So like you can see here.
    The persons that have WhatsApp are shown with: Hey there I'm using WhatsApp or their own Status
    WhatsApp questions-img_20141221_222353.jpg
    The others like the first 3 contacts don't have WhatsApp and if I press on them this message pops-up
    Translate there is a phone number a check mark
    Cancel / Invite

    You can't decline a contact. If they have it you are able to get in Touch with them
