Blackberry said it is “extremely disappointed” with Facebook’s decision to discontinue support for its app.<\/p>\n
It means Blackberry users will have to use the mobile version of the website to log on to the social network.<\/p>\n
It is not clear when this will come into effect.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month WhatsApp, which is owned by Facebook, also announced that it would only continue to support Blackberry’s Android-powered Priv handset.<\/p>\n
Whatsapp support for Blackberry’s own operating system will end at the end of 2016, the firm said.<\/p>\n
“We fought back to work with WhatsApp and Facebook to change their minds, but at this time, their decision stands,” wrote Lou Gazzola, who works in developer relations at Blackberry, in a blog post.<\/p>\n
“We have worked hard to ensure our end users have the best experience in light of this decision, and are continuing to search for alternate solutions.”<\/p>\n
Mr Gazzola urged supporters to take to social media using the hashtag #ILoveBB10Apps.<\/p>\n
“Hey @facebook and @WhatsApp #ILoveBB10Apps Please don’t kill’em *attempts puppy eyes*” tweeted Jo.<\/p>\n
“I use BB10 because I wanted an alternative to Android and iOS devices, don’t stop offering people an alternative choice! #ILoveBB10Apps” tweeted Ed Hale.<\/p>\n
