Facebook drops support for BlackBerry phonesMarch 22, 2016 - 16:42 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Facebook is dropping support for BlackBerry's mobile operating systems, which will force BlackBerry owners to use the social network's mobile website if they'd like to access it on the go, the Verge said. Lou Gazzola, BlackBerry's senior marketing manager for developer relations, announced the news Monday, March 22 in a blog post. Just last month, Facebook-owned WhatsApp announced it would discontinue its Blackberry 10 and BBOS apps by the end of the year. "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," wrote Gazzola. "Despite this, we have worked hard to ensure that our end-users have the best experience in light of this decision, and we are continuing to search for alternate solutions." Gazzola says Facebook is cutting off support for its "essential APIs," meaning BlackBerry’s third-party apps will cease functioning.
