BlackBerry To Shut Down World App Store
The shut down will begin in with the BlackBerry Travel site in February 2018, and then the Playbook video calling service in March 2018. Culminating with the closure of the actual BlackBerry World on 31 December 2019.There’s no surprise here; seeing that there have been no new BB10 devices since 2015. BlackBerry has clearly moved towards Android-powered devices produced by TCL. Pouring its own resources in enterprise applications and working solely on secure software.
That said, the company has promised to support BB10 and BBOS for another two years. Which essentially means that the end of BlackBerry World will also mean the end of the line for all BlackBerry operating systems.
“Customers who upgrade to a new KeyOne or Motion won’t miss a beat as they’ll have immediate access to the rich universe of apps in the Google Play store without compromising on either security or their desire for a physical keyboard,” the company wrote on its Inside BlackBerry blog.
