BlackBerry will k.ill its app store at the end of 2019, support BB10 for ‘at least two’ more years.
BlackBerry is finally sharing plans about its legacy software and services. The BlackBerry World app store is going away on December 31, 2019, the BlackBerry Travel site is shutting down in February 2018, and the Playbook video calling service will die in March 2018. The company is otherwise promising “at least two full years of additional support for BB10” and “at least two full years of BlackBerry network access for BBOS devices.”
