Facebook creates web-based app for BlackBerry after killing native app

PanARMENIAN.Net - BlackBerry announced Wednesday, March 30 a modest reprieve for users of its BlackBerry 10 and BBOS devices when it said it had reached a compromise to keep a web-based version of the Facebook app available on its platform, VentureBeat says.

The news comes a week after Facebook announced it was killing support for its BlackBerry native app on March 31.

“Facebook will continue to support BlackBerry 10 and BBOS,” the company wrote in a blog post. “The experience will be slightly different, but you’ll still get the same Facebook features you love.”

In recent weeks, Facebook has been cutting back support for smaller mobile platforms, including BlackBerry. The company said it was ending WhatsApp support for BlackBerry later this year. And Facebook’s Instagram never did make it to BlackBerry.
