The day is finally here! After being announced at the launch event at the end of January, WhatsApp has finally made its way to BlackBerry 10. The official app is sure to get a warm welcome from BlackBerry 10 users as it has been one of the most anticipated apps on the platform. WhatsApp brings cross-platform messaging to the Z10 and includes text chat as well as file and media sharing. WhatsApp is available free from BlackBerry World, so go grab it while it's hot. Check out the full press release below.
WhatsApp Messenger Launches on BlackBerry 10
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIFORNIA and WATERLOO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 13, 2013) - WhatsApp Inc., the company behind WhatsApp Messenger, and BlackBerry (NASDAQ: BBRY)(TSX: BB) today announced that WhatsApp will bring a native version of its popular mobile messaging service to the BlackBerry® 10 platform.
BlackBerry 10 provides an ideal platform for social apps such as WhatsApp Messenger to fully leverage innovative new features like BlackBerry Flow, where apps work together, sharing information with each other to quickly lead the customer intuitively to the information they need and to give them the ability to immediately take action.
"BlackBerry has always been about bringing people together in a way that is fast, reliable and impactful," said Martyn Mallick, Vice President of Global Alliances and Business Development at BlackBerry. "WhatsApp is a leading mobile messaging app that connects people to their contacts on several platforms, and we are pleased to work with WhatsApp to bring their service to our customers."
"BlackBerry has been a great platform for WhatsApp for many years," said Brian Acton, co-founder of WhatsApp. "Delivering WhatsApp on BlackBerry 10 devices is in line with our goals of ensuring that our customers around the world can continue to communicate with the most important people in their lives."
In building a native application for the BlackBerry 10 platform, WhatsApp has been able to provide a fantastic user experience that leverages the true multi-tasking capabilities of BlackBerry 10. WhatsApp Messenger for BlackBerry 10 provides a high quality messaging experience that utilizes real-time push notifications to alert you when you receive messages - even when the screen is locked.
Fully integrated into BlackBerry Contacts, when the customer launches the app for the first time, WhatsApp can automatically scan existing phone numbers in the contact directory and extract the ones using WhatsApp, to help customers build out their contacts list and get started right away.
WhatsApp for BlackBerry 10 and BlackBerry 4.6 and higher is available in BlackBerry World (www.blackberryworld.com).
The app is rolling out over the next few hours, so if you don't see it available for your device just yet - check back in a bit.

123berryaddicted Mar 13, 2013 at 5:51 pm
Wrong. The link is the wrong link, links to the bbos7 version. I just checked, link still doesn't work, yet I did a search in app world and it came up (the proper version for z10)
Rolsi Mar 14, 2013 at 5:43 am
I Dowloaded it from Blackberry World. Yes it was there.
Problem:- No notification whatsoever, Not in the hub, no red star on the icon, no sound alert, no led light. nothing. I get the message instantly though (comes in quietly). i can reply to message, no problem there. I have turned on all alerts in the whatsapp notification. still nothing..
Anyone else having the same problem. I have written the vender a couple of hours ago, waiting for their responce.
I'm in Singapore on M1
Edit:
Commented too soon. I deleated the app and re-installed it from bbworld. all works well now.
PH_BB Mar 13, 2013 at 6:39 pm
Agreed
SDTRMG Mar 13, 2013 at 7:31 pm
That's the wrong link I download it by searching that link takes you to the bbos7 version.

mamak111 Mar 15, 2013 at 10:18 am
The link is fine.
For those who are finding that Whatsapp is not available for your device message in BBworld, you have to update your software to the latest version i.e 10.0.10.82.
If your Z10 says you have the latest software available and the version number is lower than 10.0.10.82 you will have to find a sim card for a carrier accepting this version update. Updates are carrier dependant and the carrier has to ok this update for it to install on a phone using their sim card. After updating the OS Whatsapp should now be available for you to download.
This comment is also posted at the end of this comments thread. This is for those who dont go to the last comment

Whatsapp is by far the best cross platform messaging app around. Glad to see their continued support through BB10.
birdman_38 Mar 14, 2013 at 12:46 pm
What about Kik?
Killington Mar 14, 2013 at 2:09 pm
I have to say since RIM booted Kik from their app world some time ago, I've never used them since. I can't say if Kik is better or not. Does kinda lessen the impact of my initial claim of 'by far the best' I guess...

Great News! I like that they have shown BlackBerry users respect by building in Native Cascades.
Apps that don't build in native will not get more than 3.5 stars from me and I will tell them why.
Now..bring me Kindle and Kobo... :)

surferito Mar 14, 2013 at 1:39 am
No, I already tried, you don't need to keep an active frame open to receive a msg. You will receive a notification, led blinking and the app icon also changes.
wjrcoop Mar 13, 2013 at 3:30 pm
So ... how many people are in an Appworld search right now for Whatsapp ... and refreshing every 5 seconds? :) :)

Great to see this finally hit BB10 and also great to know that it is a native app, not an Android port!

Do you still get notifications if the app is closed? Gonna test that now.
*EDIT* - works great! Keep it closed :D
Brandon Orr Mar 13, 2013 at 4:45 pm
yes, but it doesn't seem to show up on the lock screen, the LED definitely starts blinking when you get a message from whatsapp when the app is closed. Unfortunately there's no dedicated whatsapp inbox like there is for twitter of Facebook, etc

yvpan1 Mar 13, 2013 at 6:48 pm
do these steps:
1. close the app
2. go to the settings menu, on the security & privacy, tap on permissions
3. make sure that WhatsApp is allowed to access ALL permissions
4. relaunch whatsapp
5. if no 1 to 4 don't work, just perform a reboot on your phone and you should be up and running!
seems there is a slight bug in this build so.. bear in mind. but Z10 lovers, let's show WhatsApp our love so they will support us more and come back with future updates & bug fixes!!
cooltse Mar 13, 2013 at 4:40 pm

+++ click on the 'more from what's app' link at the bottom of the what's app blackberry world page and it bring you to the z10 version. I just downloaded it even thought I couldn't find it via search.
The link on the CB post is for an older version.

tbkfan Mar 13, 2013 at 5:00 pm
Really?? I am not seeing that. Are you seeing it as a separate account in the Hub or just referring to the generic notification (the bell icon).
22justin Mar 14, 2013 at 1:11 am
just the regular notification for me. would love to see it get its own sep account in the hub as well.

The new messages are showing up in the HUB but just under the "notifications" tab. Not available to add to the hub on its own so far. I do however, get messages when the app is closed.
matt710 Mar 13, 2013 at 4:52 pm
There is hub integration. The notifications appear as an alert.
One issue that I have noticed soo far is going from landscape to portrait with the keyboard up seems to leave the keyboard up with the wrong orientation.
But apart from that it works fine for me on z10 in UK.

O so nice to have it back!! I sent my husband a message (with what's app) and he sent back "Finally! " (he left BlackBerry for a S G3 last year...I couldn't believe it! )
Yay! I can now communicate more adequately with those without BBs again!

hpoop Mar 13, 2013 at 4:59 pm
Got the app, and I can't talk to a bunch of people I used to talk to because they aren't showing up as people I can talk to. WHAT?
And if I look them up in the Contacts part of the app, it just gives me the option of opening up their Contact profile in my address book thing.
So... HOW DO I TALK TO THEM??
chubbynuts Mar 13, 2013 at 5:19 pm
Same problem, the work around for me was to add them to my favorites. Once in there im able to start a chat. Some bugs that need to be worked out here but very happy to have this back.
hpoop Mar 13, 2013 at 5:30 pm
Thanks! But how do I add people to my favorites? I started with 38 favorites and 0 contacts. I refreshed them both and now I have 0 favorites and 38 contacts. LOL This is not working for me. Maybe I should reboot my phone (again).
