BlackBerry is one of the most innovative smartphone series ever. These phones were characterized by physical keyboards, but for several years the manufacturer stopped supporting these devices and resigned from releasing updates for BlackBerryOS. Already in 2019, the application store was closed, and from the new year, the use of BlackBerry phones will become even more difficult. In 2022, these phones will be stripped of basic telephone functions.
From 4th of January 2022, phones based on BlackBerry OS 7.1 or OS10 or earlier versions of these systems will be deprived of basic services. In this case, it is about the possibility of making phone calls or sending text messages. After this day, it is also possible that difficulties may arise in using Wi-Fi-based applications, such as BlackBerry World.
