WhatsApp is now available on BlackBerry 10
It appears that BlackBerry (formerly known as RIM) , does not want to leave anything to chance for its new operating system BlackBerry 10 Thus, as was already announced during its presentation, the terminals BlackBerry Q10 and Z10, the only ones that currently have this operating system, already have a large selection of applications, among which highlights the charismatic WhatsAppThe free messaging application that is causing so much talk lately and that is already present on all current platforms
Thus, for a couple of days, the earliest users who did not hesitate to buy one of these terminals, can now start conversation and enjoy messaging at no extra cost from WhatsApp And this application is already available for download, with its usual functions and an innovative design adapted to this new operating system. All this to stay in touch anytime, anywhere with friends and family without having to pay for each message sent.
This version of WhatsApp is not surprising in terms of new features. Only in its new design, which respects the BlackBerry 10 canonsThis is how you use tabs at the bottom of the screen to toggle between the different chat menus: either the conversations that are active, those of users marked as favorites or group chats Something similar to what is seen in the version for iPhone However, to write a new message to a contact it is necessary to display the menu on the right side of the screen, click on the center button and choose the recipient
Regarding the design, or visual aspect, the similarities with the last version seen are notable on Android, which adopts the Holo style of this platform. Thus, the search icons, new message, colors and straight lines predominate and look similar to the Android version We cannot forget the WhatsApp emoticons, which are also present in this version for BlackBerry 10All you have to do is access a conversation, click on the icon of these cute little faces and choose the desired one to represent a feeling or sensation Again, there are no new features in this aspect, being able to choose between the same selection seen on other platforms.
However, the most useful thing about this version of WhatsApp is its integration with notifications from BlackBerry 10 This makes it extremely quick and easy to know if there are new unread messages just by swiping from left to right on the desktop of the terminal to know such notifications
In short, an application that cannot be missing today in any operating system, especially if your goal is to return tofight for the top positionsSomething that on Windows Phone, for example, didn't happen, and whose users had towait months until you have a very poor and basic version of this communication tool. WhatsApp for BlackBerry 10 can now be downloaded via BlackBerry World completely free Of course, just for one year After that period it is necessary to renew the subscription to continue using it for another year.
