Whatsapp Blog post declares that Whatsapp will be pulled out from Symbian and Blackberry BBOS also after December, 2016.
Upgrade your device to keep using whatsapp
Using the messenger on older smartphones would pose a security threat as there would be no longer updates and security patches supplied by Whatsapp.
