BlackBerry will officially stop supporting its legacy software in the new year.
People will finally have to let their precious BlackBerry products go in 2022. The company has reminded its users that it’s dropping support for its legacy software—including its eponymous operating system—early next year. “As a reminder, the legacy services for BlackBerry 7.1 OS and earlier, BlackBerry 10 software, BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.1 and earlier versions, will no longer be available after January 4, 2022,” the company says in a support article. “As of this date, devices running these legacy services and software through either carrier or Wi-Fi connections will no longer reliably function, including for data, phone calls, SMS and 9-1-1 functionality.
