Sometime last year WhatsApp made it clear on their official blog about stopping the usage of WhatsApp Messenger on some devices like BlackBerry OS and BlackBerry 10, Nokia S40, Nokia Symbian S60, Android 2.1 and Android 2.2, Windows Phone 7, iPhone 3GS/iOS 6 Phones by the end of 2016, reasons stated for this action was that WhatsApp developers want to initiate some new function or features like face of face video chat, 3D Emojis and lots more which cannot function on Symbian phones and Some blackberry devices. Recently WhatsApp extend the stoppage date till June next year.
