If you sideload Whatsapp from the Android device into the Z10,

Will it be integrated into the hub?

Thanks

You have to manually add your contacts to the app.

I have done the same and it works pretty well. One issue I have noticed, however, is if you maintain the chat, and got back (without exiting the program) to type, the words do not appear in the chat box until you actually hit enter. This happened regularly with ongoing chats. However, the first time you enter WhatsApp and type they appear OK. Anyone else have this issue? Really hoping WhatsApp becomes available as an official download soon!

That sounds hectic!

And thanks for all the responses!

Yeah it shows up in the notification section. It just says whatsapp has new messages from X conversation. And the text not appearing is annoying as well. I find its slightly laggy

Hey there,

I have the whatsapp software sideloaded on my new bb10 , i was wondering how to manually add contacts. cant seem to figure it out.

Joel I've found that I wasn't able to add the contacts in...mbit of a glitch since it's a side loaded app. have your contacts send you a what's app message and they'll show up in your list. Only way I got it to work.
