So it benefits from quite a lot of updates and support from the community of Whatsapp fans. In this article we’ll show you how to download and install WhatsApp for your BlackBerry and how to solve some common problems with the chronology of the messages that occur on some BlackBerry models, especially the BlackBerry Curve 9220 and the BlackBerry 8520.

How to download WhatsApp for BlackBerry

If you own a BlackBerry, and you want to install Whatsapp on your device, you first must go on ‘ App World for BlackBerry by clicking the ‘home’ button. Once inside the ‘App World’ menu, open the browser and type ‘WhatsApp’. Then click ‘WhatsApp Messenger’ to start download it. After installation you have to follow a “step by step” procedure to activate it and request a verification code to be entered on your phone number. Once received, you can add this code, complete the process of registration and start using WhatsApp to chat with your friends and relatives. The cost of Whatsapp on Blackberry is free for 12 months, then only $1.99 / year.

Whatsapp problems on BlackBerry 8520
Many users have complained about some malfunctioning version of WhatsApp for BlackBerry, in particular on the model 8520 . In some cases Whatsapp deleted all messages and history, causing many inconvenience to all owners of this device.

To correct this problem you must perform the procedure known as’ battery pull ‘, which means that you have to remove the battery, the SIM card and microSD, wait for a few minutes and then reassemble everything back again. If all went well, the above problems will disappear.

Whatsapp problems on BlackBerry Curve 9220
Also the BlackBerry Curve 9220 model had some problems with the message chat history. Many users found themselves in trouble because unable to display important messages from friends and relatives. Unlike the problem explained above (for the BlackBerry 8520) the procedure of ‘battery pull’ does not seem to be effective. However, if in conjunction with this procedure you uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp and you reboot your device, you have a pretty good chance of success. To uninstall the application you have first to go into the settings of the device (apps management).

If you’re a fan of BlackBerry, then the ideal world for you would be one where all the people are using BlackBerry. You can just use BlackBerry Messenger as your SMS alternative. But we are in the real world. People use different brands of phones. You have to use SMS, email, or the good old phone call to communicate with them. And this can be rather costly.

This is where WhatsApp comes in. It is a cross-platform app sporting a compatibility with Apple, Android, Symbian, Windows, and Nokia smartphones. If you have it, all you need to do is to tell your contacts to install it in their phones and you’ll be able to send text messages to them. Whatever smartphone they have, they can likely install this app.The interface of WhatsApp is like a smarter version of the stock SMS function of your phone. Basically, there’s no need for adjustment and even offers improvements over it.

Operating System Requirement
First, if you’d like to try this app, you should know its system requirements. You need to have a BlackBerry OS of 4.6 or greater. For a quick reference, the models that are compatible include the Curve 83XX, 8520, 8900, Bold 9000 and 9700, Pearl 81XX, Tour 9630, and Storm 95XX. The file size is about 300KB.

Lightweight
Compared to other instant messaging apps, this app is more on the light end when it comes to features – pretty much only the basics. But that makes it light on the system as well. Tests put up WhatsApp as the least buggy of its brethren.

Easy to Use
The usability is good on this app. The interface is easy to interact with and the display offers convenience. The message exchanges are threaded like a chat box so you can see the entire conversation with ease. The messages also have indicators. You messages may have up to two checkmarks – one indicates it is received by the server and the other indicates it has been received by the recipient. No one can give you the excuse “I didn’t get your message.”
The Favs feature list allows you to put contacts that you frequently converse with in an easy to access list. This is so that you can quickly go to the contacts whenever you need to message them. It also makes for good organization so you don’t have to browse through a long list of contacts that you don’t usually message anyway.

Step-by-Step guide to Download and Install Whatsapp (through your Browser)

First step is to open your default BlackBerry browser. This is essential. You’ll know why later.
Go to the app’s official website: www.whatsapp.com.
You’ll see the homepage and the descriptions. There will also be the logo of the different smartphone platforms. Since you’re using a BlackBerry, you should be familiar with its logo. Click that.
You will be brought to the download page for the BlackBerry version of the app. This page would not be functional unless you are using a default BlackBerry browser.
You will then download the latest version of the app. It will be installed automatically. All you need to do is to wait.
Once done, open the application and follow the prompts for setting

Unlimited Messaging with No Ads
The messages you can send via WhatsApp is virtually unlimited. It doesn’t post ads as well. But there is an annual subscription fee of $1.99 with a free 30-day trial. But considering what you can save from avoiding SMS fee, this is a good deal.

Alternatives: if paying $1.99 a year is too much for your personal budget, than you could consider installing some good Messaging alternative, like Telegram (which is still free). But, before doing so, I suggest you reading this interesting article: Whatsapp vs Telegram.

WhatsApp: how to free up space on your smartphone deleting old messages

Posted on October 2, 2015 by Christine

Who does not use WhatsApp today? With its 900 million active users, we can safely say that WhatsApp is one of the most popular instant messaging applications in the world, used to exchange messages, pictures, video, or even to make phone calls. So, without even realizing it, we accumulate a lot of space in the memory of our smartphone, creating some problems (often at the wrong time). So, what can we do? Let’s see together how to free up space on our Android and iPhone devices.

For those who use Android
Maybe you don’t know it, but on Android devices such as Samsung, Motorola, Sony and many more, WhatsApp creates a compressed copy of the photos and videos that you send and receive, and store them in a folder that does not appear in the Gallery of your smartphone. To clean your phone from media files sent and received you simply need a generic file manager that works on Android, for example ES File Manager, or MiXPlorer. If you use a Samsung device it’s even easier because it contains a built-in app called “My Files”. Thanks to this app you don’t have to look for any third party file manager.

So, in order to create space on your smartphone, open the file manager and look for the WhatsApp folder. Once you’ve found it, you will find another folder called “Media”. At this point you have two options. The first one is to remove the folder. The second one is to open it and copy (or move) the files that you want to keep to another folder on your smartphone that is not contained in the WhatsApp folder. When you’re done, delete the “Media” folder.

For those who use an iPhone
On iPhone devices data are saved in the chat as well as in the phone. To create more space in the memory of the chat, you need to open WhatsApp, open the conversation with whom you have exchanged more video, photos and audio, and then press the contact’s name. Now select “Delete chat”. Don’t worry, deleting the chat does not imply abandoning the group chat. To delete files from the memory of the phone you need to open WhatsApp and go to “Chat Settings”. Now you have to desable the “Save media received”. Obviously, before you perform any of these tasks, you must remember to make back-ups of photos and videos that you want to keep.

WhatsApp for Samsung Galaxy Note 4: you can now download the new Beta 2.12.294

Posted on October 1, 2015 by Christine

Do you usually access WhatsApp using a tablet and you own a Samsung Galaxy Note 4? Well, today we have some interesting news to share with you. For those who use WhatsApp with this advanced tablet (even though the Galaxy Note 5 has already been released), it is already time to update their version of WhatsApp and download this last Beta 2.12.294.

To be honest this last update doesn’t bring any new features, but the good news is that it finally fixes some bugs. In addition, we can notice that there have been some performance improvements, and obviously that’s noteworthy. If we want to be optimistic, when a new beta version doesn’t introduce new feature it often means that developers are working on a new stable version ready for the Google Play Store. So, fingers crossed.

In this new version 2.12.294 ten files has been modified, but without any change log, consequently it is impossible for us to understand exactly which file has been deleted or added. Some changes involve also for the APK which has now 22.71 MB, that is 20KB more that the previous version. So, how can you download beta version 2.12.294.?

First of all you have to open your Galaxy Note 4 and enable the “Unknown Sources”, that you can find in Settings->Security. After that you need to go to whatsapp.com/android where you can find this latest APK ready to be downloaded. Now save it and by simply tapping on it you can begin to install 2.12.294 version of WhatsApp. Quite easy, isn’t it?

If you still don’t have WhatsApp on your Galaxy Note 4 and you decide it is time to install this popular instant messaging app on your device, you can easily find it on the Google Play Store searching for “WhatsApp”. When you find it, just select it and touch the “Install” button and the installation of WhatsApp on your device will begin.

WhatsApp for Windows Phone: the new Beta version 2.12.142 has been released

Posted on September 30, 2015 by Christine

windows phone new beta Just a few weeks ago we talked about the improvements available for those who use WhatsApp on Windows Phone devices, and yet today, we have to talk already about another new Beta ready to be installed on your Windows Phone (now Windows 10 Mobile). What changes with this new version 2.12.142?

Unfortunately it seems we have to be patient since this new Beta doesn’t introduce any new features, but just brings the usual bug fixes and an improvement of the stability of the application (which however are not unimportant improvements when you need to use WhatsApp). So, despite some rumours about the release of the Video Calling feature, once again there is no confirmation coming from WhatsApp developers.

But we think that, considering the fierce competition between WhatsApp and the other popular messaging services (like Viber or Skype) it is reasonable to imagine that they are working on it. In the meantime you can still enjoy the other many benefits of WhatsApp, first of all sending messages for free (you simply need an internet connection).

Or sharing your photos and audio files with all your friends, colleagues or family. Considering the many features offered by WhatsApp and that you can use it with several other operating systems such as Android, BlackBerry 10, iOS, it doesn’t surprise us that now this instant messaging app has reached the incredible number of 900 million monthly users. An impressive number, isn’t it? Even better than Facebook’s own messenger service, which has “only” 700 million users.

But what if something occurs on your Windows Phone device and WhatsApp doesn’t work anymore? It could happen, so don’t panic. You can reinstall it easily just following this simple procedure. Open the Start Screen and swipe from right to left. After that, scroll down to WhatsApp and long press on WhatsApp icon. From here select uninstall (yes, you have to uninstall it before installing a new version). At this point you have to open the Store and download the latest version. It’s not difficult, just follow the instructions on the screen and you’ll have the latest, working, version of WhatsApp installed on your device.

WhatsApp for Nokia Asha: version 2.13.8 is now available to be downloaded

Posted on September 29, 2015 by Christine

Another update is available for WhatsApp users who access the popular instant messaging application via their Nokia Asha devices. Even if this new version 2.13.8 does not bring any new features, it contains a lot of bug fixes and, also, a particular attention was given to the application’s performance. This new version, which runs on Symbian S40, can be installed also on Nokia 3 and Nokia Asha devices.

But let’s see how to install it on your Nokia Asha. You can find version 2.13.8 available for the download on the Opera Mobile Store and you won’t have to struggle to much to install it on your device since the download is quite easy. So, let’s proceed step by step. First of all open the Opera Mobile Store. After that you have to search for WhatsApp and then you can choose to install/update (from the .jad file) the latest version of WhatsApp on your Nokia Asha. You simply have to follow the instructions provided.

As we said above, in this WhatsApp version you won’t find any new features. The lack of changes is well balanced by an improvement of stability and performance, that will surely be appreciated by all users. Once again, the Voice Calling feature is still missing, and for the moment there are no signs that Nokia Asha users will ever benefit of this function like their colleagues who use WhatsApp on Android, iOS, BlackBerry 10 and Windows Phone devices.

Luckily, even though Symbian is not a platform very used, WhatsApp don’t forget about Nokia users, and does its best to provide a well functioning version of WhatsApp. In fact it would be a shame being forced to change a device you love because it is not compatible with some apps. And we know how useful and important is WhatsApp nowadays to share your pictures an videos with friends and family. Not to mention the texts, which you can send, wherever and whenever, for free.
