A new WhatsApp update for BlackBerry 10 has now arrived. This update noted as v2.12.340.2, has quite a few changes listed in the changelog, including improvements to the WhatsApp web client features, contact info screens and more. Luckily, WhatsApp was nice enough to lay out the full list so have a look:
- Added support for some additional web client features (e.g. Message info, recent emoji sync)
- Added support for web link previews on outgoing messages
- Updated organization of phone numbers on the Contact Info screen
- Message history backup process should now cause fewer issues with normal app functionality
- Attempted fix for issues connecting via proxy servers
- Miscellaneous fixes and updates
The update is live now, so go ahead and fire up BlackBerry World and get it downloaded if you haven't already. If you're not seeing the update, just do a search for WhatsApp and it should appear as available for you.

WhatsApp for BlackBerry 10 updated to improve connection issues and web client features
Well they updated the CrAp out of it...since they are now cancelling support for their BB10 version...
Cartman says: Nothing Due To Censorship
Another update came out a few days after this one. Any changelog available?

All of a sudden bbw notified me of the Whatsapp update, and the update was successful. Don't know what happened...
Posted via CB10
Nice to see this great app receive an update.
Why can't WhatsApp use animated stickers like Wechat..
Posted via CB10
It works only with mobile data, as you said I found it ridiculous and not good at all from BB.
Posted via CB10
BBW does not work.
Recovery tool does not solve this issue, so the only way if you turn off wifi and use your mobile data... Thank you BlackBerry...
Posted via CB10
@norton666, I tried that too it doesn't work.Hope BBW problem is sorted out soon
I thought this post was about an update of whatsapp?
Posted via CB10
Probably one of the last updates considering bb10 development is dead. Long live BB10 Whatsapp... my saviour which connected me with the outside world (all my 90) contacts. BBM is sure to go down the history path too soon.
Posted via CB10
Can't download, I've get this message:
"A network error has occurred while processing your request. Please ensure you have sufficient network coverage and try again".
not yet in India! :(
Posted via CB10
Use the Beta Zone version... its perfectly stable.
Kudos to Whatsapp for constantly updating the BB10 version. BBM is good too, but I only have my parents as regular users on it

Someone has Sabotaged BB10. Allot of my updates get a negative error and I can't upgrade. Probably One of the people Chen laid off...or maybe even Chen himself.
Posted via CB10
I have noticed that only 'whatsapp' and 'inst10' get some sort of updates.what about facebook, linkedin, twitter and likes?
Weird that WhatsApp gets regular weekly updates yet Facebook never sees an update, despite the two apps belonging to the same company...

BlackBerry World also not running on z30 in Romania.

They need to change their UI. It's sorta dull looking
Posted via CB10
WA review page at BBW is full of "unable to update " msg. Is it device specific of BBW fault?
yahya mohamed, actually, the whole bb10 is way better than android. not just the whatsapp.
*sigh* if only theres moredeveloper to develop all the apps to suit bbos.
Posted via CB10
Nice to see BlackBerry world with some news. Still love my passport and feel very productive. Hoping for a work wide android with same features! It's great for work.
Posted via CB10
Whatsapp for bb10 is much way better than android whatsapp
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android
Its BB10 and cascades... which make Whatsapp so good to use..
I used Whatsapp on Android and didn't like it.. I don't really like Android anyways... bad for navigating within the OS.
Posted via my z30/10.3.2.2876
Still no cross-platform video chat in BBM. Another broken BlackBerry promise.
Posted via CB10
BlackBerry is being leached by parasitic CEO and board. Shot themselves in the feet plenty of time. If Mike and Jim caused the beginning of the downfall. Chen and Co have certainly put their foot on the accelerator. Enjoy the ride folks.
Posted via CB10
At least the developer is keeping up with the other platform counterparts.
Still, why use whatsapp with a phone number and give your details to facebook? Why not just traditionally sms/mms (audio, photos/pictures, video) people, or call them? No data use, and quality often is leagues better.
Typed using my BlackBerry Classic running 10.3.2.2876 on WINDmobile HSPA+
You just cannot compare MMS quality-video with what you can send by IM. And many carriers require you to have a data plan for MMS. It may get zero-rated, but it's still a requirement with many of them. Plus, using IM over carrier based SMS/MMS may be cheaper for international messaging.
Unable to download. It shows network error although I have full access
Posted via CB10
Same here. Other apps are downloaded properly from BBW.
@rajgriwall21,@idhbar ditto here.Meanwhile, I got update's for another app 'Echo'(voice recorder) from BBW which is also showing the same 'network'problem.I checked my wi-fi's( I have two ...one is portable & another is connected to my computer).Both show the same error!.The same error is showing in my regular 3G connection too!! I think time for our beloved BBRY 10 devices to turn into paperweight is near!!
P.S
At the same time I got an update for an app downloaded from 'amazon' app store.It downloaded perfectly well without any issues
Mr.Chen is crushing us BB10 users....!!
Posted via CB10
Wow. I emailed the "bb10-support" email they had in their app description for a few concerns and suggestions (video downscaling and chat search, which are found on every software except for bb10) and I got a reply saying they " no longer provide support for questions relating to BlackBerry 10." Yikes!
Posted via CB10
I fyuuuing hate Chen. I would never buy a priv - ever.
Posted via CB10
Face 10 is so much better than the stock blackberry Facebook app thanks Nemory ;) ,, guys who have issues with downloading WhatsApp update please make sure that you didn't install the beta zone version and you can backup your conversation take copy from WhatsApp folder that in misc folder, uninstall the beta version then download the blackberry world update i hope it can help you guys.
Posted via CB10
Guys, it's showing as some kind of network error when I hit on update. I restarted my phone as one of the comments suggests.....but still the same error is showing up. Something wrong with blackberry world now??
Posted via CB10
BBM all the way!!
What's app and text messaging = samething. Why do you think they ask your cell # when you registered?
Posted via CB10
The Cell number mandate is a way to breach your contact list and spread the user base. Basically contacts can see other contacts's contacts.
Posted via CB10
What's has got a better upgrade in betazone.. try that fellas version. 343
Posted via CB10
Now we just need to get wechat updated :)
Posted via CB10
If only this applied to me
Posted via the CrackBerry App for Android
It quite sad that most of the native apps on bb10 don't get updates anymore! I'm always excited when I see an update! Means someone hasn't written off BlackBerry 10 yet
Posted with the Passport to the future
Pretty much the only app that gets regular updates. Not even the BB apps get updated this often.
I can't download the new update? It right away says network connection error. I'm connected to my home WiFi and everything else works fine!
Posted via CB10
Having the same problem. See what happens when Stupid Chen lays off vital people. Ignorant moron.
Posted via CB10
Had same problem, restarted my Passport then opened BBW downloaded no problem.
Posted via my magical Passport, keeping the dream alive Scotland Aye!
Reinstall BlackBerry World.

If no solution of BlackBerry world error I will sell my BlackBerry and switch iphone this week
Posted via CB10
Did u try to clear the bbw cache?
Posted from my Blackberry Q10 via CB10
How do you clear it?
Posted via CB10
and you think ios doesn't have such issues??
Apple is probably worse, they even force you to update in order to use face time etc
Posted via my Zed 10 Vader
My BlackBerry world is showing error for the past 4 days! If no solution I will send my phone this week. I restarted d phone, I wiped it and still no result
Posted via CB10
Really appreciate on the update to the contacts manager. smoother than before when searching for contact,
Posted via CB10
Whatsapp gets more updates for BB10 then BBM. Sort of funny how that works.
Posted via CB10
Why not add message and photo retraction and stop with the nonsense updates and add video calls
Blackberry Passport
To copy BBM lol. Why not just use BBM??
Posted via CB10
Cz no one I know uses it unless you want me to chat to myself through my both bb10
Blackberry Passport
lol so true
Which is what doesn't make sense with people. If you want high end BBM features on Whatsapp, why not just everyone switch? Whatsapp uses BBM as a template anyway, except that they store and sharew your phone number and your contacts. If people really wanted the features and end-to-end security of BBM, they would just switch.
So those features are not really in demand from Whatsapp users.
Posted via CB10
I'll chat with you :-)
Posted via CB10
Voice calls barely work, what would be the point of adding video calls?
Posted via CB10
BlackBerry owes me a **** ton of money for wasting the last four years. Hoping. Wishing. That someone would come along and do BB10 some justice. I'm gonna say. $5000. That should quiet me down. Lol.
Well. Was gonna go Priv. Guess I'll just go Samsung. Later BlackBerry sad to have loved you so. Cause switching is gonna suck!
Lol no, they don't owe you anything
Posted via CB10
I know. But felt good posting. I'm usually a positive force. Have alter ego. A Gemini thing. Lol.
Well. Was gonna go Priv. Guess I'll just go Samsung. Later BlackBerry sad to have loved you so. Cause switching is gonna suck!
Why not Priv?
I should add. What's ? app sucks. BBM is living. And soon killed by CHEN. Sadly death spiral started prior by Lazaridis and his (partner who thought Innovation was a dirty word). **** me. BlackBerry could have survived. Pay attention innovators!
Well. Was gonna go Priv. Guess I'll just go Samsung. Later BlackBerry sad to have loved you so. Cause switching is gonna suck!
I'll stick with my beta thanks very much
Posted from my Blackberry Q10 via CB10
Oh Yay. Only to be deleted in two months when BB10 is obsolete.
Well. Was gonna go Priv. Guess I'll just go Samsung. Later BlackBerry sad to have loved you so. Cause switching is gonna suck!
Ahh I love the Pearl, wish BlackBerry would have built one with BB10 :)
Posted via CB10
It would be nice if they made an app for my Pearl 8130. No love for me.
Posted via CB10
Hahaahahaahahaha. Please go to BB10.

I mean for someone even if he only has $100 could buy a much better phones than this junk.

What's App??? I will tell you What's Up. New updates of crap to the Whatscrap app.
Posted via CB10
Pls bro is your BlackBerry appworld working? Mine here seems to be displaying " an error occur" that I need to try again, which I have been trying but still the same displayed msg that error occur. Pls what do I need to do?
Posted via CB10
How about an instagram app? I use BBM and I am getting ready to abandon Facebook since they are now blocking organic traffic, and forcing page owners to pay for their followers to get notifications of their posts.
Posted via CB10
Is that something new?
Posted via CB10
What in the blazes is "organic traffic"? Is it traffic that isn't full of BS or any other kind of fertilizer?
Posted using a Q10, 10.3.2.2474.
No **** sherlock. It isn't your right to have control of other FB followers for free. The service is provided by FB. You don't pay FB to have the page. So yes, you do have to pay FB to get in front of people who like your page a long with many other pages. FB is a business, not a charity. You talk about it as if it is a human right backed by a UN resolution to have a FB page spouting your own agenda for all to see. It's not.
Posted via CB10
I don't blame him, Facebook is the one trying to convince everyone they are a charity and trying to ruin net neutrality using excuses that make zero sense
Posted via my Zed 10 Vader
Hei @Bla1ze, there is wrong version u wrote, I saw on BlackBerry World the lates version is 2.12.340.2, but Im very dissapointed , there is still no Video Calling feature
You're right, looked in the wrong spot for the version number lol. Thanks! Fixed.
Good to see the main messaging app keep investing in BlackBerry 10.
Posted via CB10
I don't think they mean it in a good way. They want the BlackBerry business users to use their messaging app and not bbm.
Posted via CB10
Whatsapp us more dedicated to BB10 then blackberry is.

Yep, despite BB10 being pr0nounced dead by so many.... :-D
• There's a Crack in the Berry right now... •
It would be so much better if Facebook created Facebook app for BB10.
Face10 is getting rave reviews, am not a user of FB though.
Posted via CB10
+1 - Face10 is way better than BlackBerry's Facebook app and definitely better than nothing done the Facebook app is not getting any updates anytime soon since last year.
Great job BlackBerry on not even supporting the current apps for all the users that have been supporting BB10 since the launch with their pathetic boring debut and marketing!!!
Posted via CB10
Does BlackBerry have the power to update an app made by a third party? Why blame them for the app? There's plenty to blame them for but the Facebook app not being updated is hardly one of those things.
~TheRealFixxxer
Good one, now go check who made the facebook app...
Posted from my passport not 'running the google'

Posted via CB10
Ahh it's actually made by BlackBerry. My apologies. I use neither Facebook nor BlackBerry so I'm ignorant on the matter.
But it all makes perfect sense now.
~TheRealFixxxer
Who uses FB anymore? I get the feeling we're going to look back on FB similar to the way we look back on myspace. It may not happen immediately, but I feel like I know more and more people that deleted their FB profiles or they still have their profile, but haven't logged on in months or years, and couldn't care less.

Facebook January 2016: 1 billion daily active users.
MySpace 2008 (peak): 76 millions *monthly* active users.
Enough said.
Posted via CB10 with my PassportSQW100-1/10.3.2.2876.
What is the Internet penetration in 2008 compared to 2016?
That plays a lot. Just like 85% of smartphone users (15 million) is far less than 1% of 1 Billion users.
Posted via CB10
That's a factor. 2008 very little smartphones, mostly ageing XP boxes... remember...?
:-D
• There's a Crack in the Berry right now... •
Facebook is too huge to disappear like MySpace. Plus with Facebook and it's 1 Billion + active users has way many more options to keep ppl using it than MySpace ever did.

That ends that debate then lol

I don't use fb anymore either. Although my account still exists, I rarely check in there. I was in fb a week ago to see I had unreplied messages as old as two years! People must have thought I were dead, lol.
Posted via CB10
FB is the default communication tool now, along with whatsapp and of course email as the number 1. These are the 3 go-to options now in my view. To a lesser extent, although coming into its own with its USP is Twitter, further down the pecking order include instagram, linkedin, skype, G+.
Posted via CB10
why the heck does FB not fix their stupid apps on BB10 and WP - FB app,Whatsapp and Instagram
instead they want to spend on ruining net neutrality in India
bunch of douchebags, how the heck did everyone end up ditching BBM, these other companies including Google have crappy policies
