WhatsApp is bidding farewell to older mobile operating systems as the year draws to a close. Specifically, it's ending support for BlackBerry OS (including BlackBerry 10) and Windows Phone 8.0 and older on December 31st.
Microsoft has confirmed that they no longer have a focus on Windows Phone. It's the first admission of the platform's demise, though a lack of compelling launches as of late hinted toward that fate for some time.
After being released in 2014, Microsoft has officially ended support for Windows Phone 8.1, with only 20% of Windows smartphones running Windows 10 Mobile.
