  • WhatsApp notification integration – allows the user to view notifications of new chat content from WhatsApp directly in the Hub, and better manage their communications through features like Snooze and unread filters.

We’ll keep you posted as we continue to include more of your favorite messaging and social media notifications directly into BlackBerry Hub over the next few months.

Your device should notify you that these updates are available and even download them automatically over wifi. If for some reason it does not (for example, if you’ve turned off automatic updates), then you can update your apps as follows:

  1. After connecting to a Wi-Fi network, open the Google Play Store.
  2. Tap the icon on the left side of the search bar, and select “My apps & games” from the menu that appears.
  3. Choose which apps to update, or simply tap “Update All.”

Once you tap ‘download,’ the update will begin downloading even if you don’t see a progress bar or other indicator.
