Which BlackBerry 10 devices are supported?

WhatsApp is available for your BlackBerry 10 smartphone in BlackBerry World. In order to install and use WhatsApp on BlackBerry 10, you will need to have the BlackBerry 10 Software Release 10.0.10.82 or later, otherwise known as BB OS Version 10.0.10.648, for your BlackBerry device.

You can check your BB OS version in your smartphone's settings:

If your BB OS version is less than 10.0.10.648, you will need to wait for a software update from your mobile provider. Generally, your mobile service provider is responsible for releasing device updates for your BlackBerry 10 phone. To update manually from your smartphone's settings:
