Blackberry Users do Not Update Your Current Facebook Application or Kiss it Goodbye
This is an important information to all Blackberry users… we earlier reported that Facebook will remove their supports for Blackberry, hence your Facebook app will seize to functions from 31st of March. But the truth is, an update was rolled out few hours ago, once you update your Facebook app, it will no longer function as expected.
Blackberry is on life supports and any moment soon, they’ll die because Doctors have given up on them. Just few weeks ago, WhatsApp announced that they’ll no longer support some device in which Blackberry is not an exemption.
Now, Facebook have announced that by March 31sth 2016 they’ll no longer support Facebook native app on all blackberry OS including Blackberry 10. The app will be discontinue and replaced with a web app.
Blackberry in their official blog issue a statements below.
Do not update your Facebook app on your blackberry phone; it will scatter to the normal website link. This is indeed a confirmation that the two most powerful and popular application in the world has finally turned their back on Blackberry.
What if I’ve already updated to the latest?
Just restore your backup of Facebook application or restore your device to the initial and you’ll have the pre-install Facebook app back. This timely blow is deadly and I bet blackberry may not be able to survive it.
"The app landscape continues to evolve, and in ways that are not always within our control. Recently, Facebook made the decision to discontinue support of their essential APIs for BlackBerry and WhatsApp announced they would end support for BlackBerry 10 and BBOS at the end of 2016.
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..."
To all blackberry users, if you love blackberry, let Facebook know how you feel with this hastag #ILOVEBB10Apps on social media.
