Keeping in line with the company’s two-year support policy, BlackBerry is ending its support for the Priv. This means the monthly security updates will stop rolling in, except for “critical” vulnerabilities that might need work. The Canadian company also said they will soon be unveiling a trade-up program for existing BlackBerry Priv users and those with BB10 and BBOS devices. The program will include discounts and incentives to purchase a new Keyone or Motion.

According to BlackBerry, support for BB10 and BBOS devices will continue on for at least two years. However, some “ancillary services” will be shut down soon including BlackBerry World app store (December 31, 2019), BlackBerry Travel site (February 2018), and Playbook video calling services (March 2018).
