While I may have deleted Whatsapp from my device when BBM went cross platform I'm sure many BlackBerry 10 users are still using it to keep in touch with some of their buddies on iPhones, Windows Phones and Android smartphones. The word on the street is that an update has rolled out for the instant messaging application - bringing some enhancements and minor bug fixes.
Out of curiosity - are you still rocking Whatsapp on your BlackBerry, or like me did you tell your friends that if they want to instant message it's BBM or nothing? Sound off in the comments.
New in version 2.11.230.2
- Lists for broadcast messaging more contacts at once
- New emojis for BlackBerry devices Z10 and Z30
- Page emoticons selector for all devices
- Improved startup performance
- Fixed a bug with the profile photo by selecting images that are too large
- Fixed minor bugs
If you're not seeing the update just yet try again in a while - it's making its way around the globe.
