It wasn't BlackBerry's call, why should they have a say in it?

I have the same question as well. How does whatsapp for android behaves in the hub? Will it open the chat within the hub itself, or does it only shows preview, and you have to tap 'open' to reply or view the rest of the chat?

Since it seems official cease service WhatsApp for BlackBerry 10, I anticipated and just close the two accounts used WhatsApp on my BlackBerry s. If someone wants my contacts to contact me you can do so through Short Message Service or BlackBerry Messenger.

Goodbye WhatsApp.

WhatsApp can work on some Android tablets but the tablet has to have telephony capability. Even then it is isn't 100% it will be offered in the store, as it will say WhatsApp is designed for phones. If the tablet is wifi only it definitely wont install/work.There are ways around this of course but you have to search.

This MUST NOT became a problem! As prices are getting lower, I am planning to sell my Samsung device, buy a cheap Android smartphone and use it to chat with friends. The BlackBerry 10 device will be optimized for work. Today I cannot attach PDF files and suchlike on WhatsApp. Plenty of work is still conducted with e-mails, I would be worried if they said they were to stop e-mail broadcasting from BlackBerry 10. As they won't do that, I will keep on working with a BlackBerry 10 smartphone as long as they will be available. If they will not, I will switch to a Windows Phone, so as to have full compatibility with a common PC. Customers' needs must be respected.

The pessimism would say: BB10 is finally end of life
The optimism would say: BB11 is yet in the pipeline

In the article section this was said to be the solution sooo many time with quotes like 'if the don't install BBM they are not your friends..'.

the argument goes:
Whatsapp is an app....dont let your live be ruled by an app.
So what you should do is to force all your friends to install BBM...because that reaaaly not like BlackBerry ruling my live.

I posted this in another WhatsApp thread thinking it was this one:
WhatsApp will simply become the next Snapchat. BB10 users will be denied service. Patching the Android version won't work either.
As a non-user the biggest affect I'll see is the hundreds of threads popping up on CB, "WhatsApp be not wrking, ned hep plz", then the hundreds of unread answers "WhatsApp doesn't work on BB10, stop trying!

Already there are more WhatsApp threads popping up here like mushrooms.

A follow-up CB article on the implications of WA dropping 'support' would be nice. It seems there are different interpretation on what that means on the Web, and CB itself, from it will stop working to 'only' updates are effected.

Engadget (well, normally not the biggest BlackBerry lovers) plainly state that WA will stopp working. Which of course might just be the interpretation of the writer.

Not "anyone." Only people who sideload, since WhatsApp is not in the Amazon app store either.

Even the least computer savvy person can side load a Android App, you download the installer then open it from the file manager, it does the rest for you.

It's not a matter of what they "can" do. Many simply don't know about it; others are unwilling to take whatever risks they imagine are involved. Sideloading is only a "solution" for a minority of people. It's fine for me, but I'm not a typical user.

No better off worse than any other Android app. He gets notifications in the hub that he can open into the app from.

Most people can not tolerate using an unsupported communication app that can cease to function at anytime. What are you going to do at the end of the year � message "Happy New Year and if you don't hear from me it's been nice!"

"We" do, but that's sideloading and normal users aren't into it.

Look, if I'm still using my Passport in 2017, I'm sure that's what I'll be doing, but that doesn't change the impact of WhatsApp's decision on people who might buy a BB10 phone, if they're still for sale then.
