Whatsapp down on your BlackBerry? Don’t panic, here’s a fix

There have been multiple reports from BlackBerry 10 users not being able to access Whatsapp anymore, and amidst news that BIS is being deprecated and the earlier news that Whatsapp was ending support for BlackBerry, there’s been some panic.

While there’s still the likelihood that Whatsapp would actually end support for Whatsapp at some point this year, they haven’t done that yet. Word is, as at right now, support for the platform would officially end in July, which is still a few months off. If you are having issues with your Whatsapp right now, chances are you are still using an old version of the app.

All you need to do is go to BlackBerry World> My World, then look for the Whatsapp icon, click on it and update the app to the newest version.

If that doesn’t work, also check that you are running the newest version of BlackBerry 10 software.
