BlackBerry's October Android update brings Improvements to Hub+, Launcher, Keyboard, and Many More

Good Day everyone, i can tell you guys have Missed My Updates on here and I'm so sorry for not been able to Update you all. Had issues with my PC but I'm working on getting it fixed tho.

But yeah, as always i've got great news for you guys, You all know its the month of October and BlackBerry has decided to offer some nice treats to its valuable customers. So if you're using any of BlackBerry's Android apps, you'll be more than pleased with what you'll get.

The Canadian company has just announced that the October Android update comes with lots of new features and improvements for several BlackBerry applications that are already very popular among users.

First of all, the BlackBerry Hub+ is getting Facebook Messenger support, so users will now be able to see and open all their chats and other messages directly within Hub+. The app also receive a new feature that allows users to save an image in the body of an email much easier: simply press and hold on the email and that should do it.

Another important app developed by BlackBerry, the Android Keyboard now features multiple ways to switch languages, as well as global gesture support (“swipe and delete” has been enabled as a settings option if using Type by Swiping).

Also, the BlackBerry Android Keyboard app includes more enterprise security, as users can now separate vocabulary learned in their personal space from words learned in their work space. That's pretty neat.

The BlackBerry Launcher received quite a few fixes in notifications, performance, and visuals. The new dynamic calendar icon available for devices powered by Android 5.0 or higher shows the current date.

Furthermore, those who are using the BlackBerry Password Keeper app will be happy to know that developers have improved privacy, so they will benefit from secure lists (i.e. gift list, to-do list, bucket list).

But the most important new feature is the fingerprint sensor support, which is available to all those who user BlackBerry Password Keeper on a smartphone with a fingerprint sensor.

Last but not least, the October Android update brings some performance optimizations for the BlackBerry camera application, along with some fixes to Hub, Calendar, Contact, Notes, and Tasks.

Those who use one or more of these BlackBerry applications for Android will be notified when these updates are available for download, but you can always check them out on Google Play.

BlackBerry Priv receives update with July’s Android security patch

Along with Nexus devices receiving OTA updates for July’s security patches, BlackBerry Priv users will also join in on the latest Android security patches for those devices purchased unlocked from ShopBlackBerry or Amazon.

The update is around 95MB and includes the same security fixes that were patched in this month’s security update.

If you haven’t gotten the OTA yet, you should be getting it over the next few days. Alternatively, you can manually check for the update by going to the Settings app, then tap ‘About’, and check for updates.

WhatsApp to Discontinue Supports For All Blackberry Devices & Others

This is an everlasting blow on all blackberry users not just blackberry users but to all windows phone 7.1 users because WhatsApp have announced to discontinue supports for all version of Blackberry OS including Blackberry OS 10 and older version of blackberry devices and to those Android still running OS 2.1 and 2.2.

 

WhatsApp earlier this week celebrated 7years of existence and therefore announce that the following devices will no longer offer the kind of capabilities that WhatsApp requires to expand their app’s features in the future.

• BlackBerry, including BlackBerry 10
• Nokia S40
• Nokia Symbian S60
• Android 2.1 and Android 2.2
• Windows Phone 7.1

This explains one of the reasons why Blackberry wants to dump Blackberry OS to Android OS. So if you are still using any of the above devices, its time to be planning on getting an iPhone or Android devices. Hence, Blackberry users sorry to blow you right in the eye because there is no future for Blackberry Phones running on Blackberry OS.

Those of you still running Android 2.1 and 2.2 OS, your next neighbor shouldn’t know that’s what you are running before you’ll entirely disappoint Android family. Nokia S60 and S40 users, Infinix Hot 3 is about to be launch at a more cheaper price, hence its advisable you get yourself one before the end of the year.

New BlackBerry Priv Packs An 18MP Camera

With the influx of Android smartphones into the market one may be tempted to think that blackberry is dead. Lol. Well the company has proved its very much around with the release of the BlackBerry Priv. This masterpiece from blackberry features great security apps that can help you protect your personal data and shows the overall security of your device based on factors such as the strength of your password, your encryption settings and the apps you have installed. Among these apps is DTEK which makes recommendations on how you can improve your overall security rating.

 

 

TECH SPECIFICATIONS 

 

The BlackBerry Priv comes loaded with cool specs for performance. The smartphone boasts 5.4- inch dual-curved WQHD Plastic AMOLED screen similar to the Samsung Galaxy Edge series. For the display you can be sure of a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels with a density of 540 dpi. In addition, the device is powered by  a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 Hexa-Core, 64 bit processor with an Adreno 418, 600MHz GPU.

Camera is one area blackberry smartphones earn my respect, so I wasn't surprise to find that the blackberry Priv comes equipped with an 18 MP dual-flash Schneider-Kreuznach certified camera is expected to deliver crisp images. The device has 3GB low powered RAM and internal storage of up to 32 GB, but is expandable via the microSD card slot of up to 2 TB. A 3410 mAh battery on the Priv gives up to 22.5 hours of battery life according to BlackBerry.
