Facebook followed in the footsteps of WhatsApp and announced that it was discontinuing support for the BlackBerry platform. BlackBerry senior marketing manager, developer relations Lou Gazzola shared the news in a blog post:
The app landscape continues to evolve, and in ways that are not always within our control. Recently, Facebook made the decision to discontinue support of its essential APIs (application-programming interfaces) for BlackBerry, and WhatsApp announced that it would end support for BlackBerry 10 and BBOS at the end of 2016.
