Working Version Of Whatsapp For OS 6 Devices, till Dec. 31st by Nobody: 2:07pm On Sep 22, 2016 |
As most of us know, WhatsApp has announced that after 31 December 2016, it will cease support for all BlackBerry devices, save the PRIV. Furthermore, recently WhatsApp ceased support for OS 6 devices and below: https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/bb/20951501 Curiously enough though, the same post in Spanish states otherwise: https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/es/bb/20951501 Actually, the app is still available through BBW and OTA through WhatsApp's site ( https:// www.whatsapp.com/ota/). However, in both cases I have bumped into the same message stating that neither my 9780 nor 9800 are supported phones anymore and that I should upgrade device. After looking for workarounds (I use the 9780 as secondary line and will sell the 9800 to a friend), none of the suggestions solved the issue. Among others, I tried the "change date" trick and attempted to restore a quite old version to no avail. However, skimming through the reviews on BBW yesterday, I bumped into the following link: http:// beta.whatsapp.com/ota and voilĂ , it worked! I managed to install Beta version 2.16.47 on both devices and have used it succesfully on the Bold. Note: Make sure to access the link through your device's browser. I'd recommend uninstalling any other WhatsApp version you have and rebooting your phone before. P.S. I have no clue how much time it will work, but hopefully this helps some OS 6 legacy users who need WhatsApp. Likewise, don't expect support from WhatsAp in case you encounter any bugs. I have no idea if it will work on previous models, like the very popular 8520 Curve with OS 5, but if it does, don't hesitate to let the community know, cheers! Source: http://www.eltrends..com.ng |
