From December 31, Whatsapp, owned by Facebook, will no longer work on Microsoft's Windows Phone and all smartphones running on Windows Mobile software as the company no longer develops for Windows mobile platforms. Facebook said users of Microsoft operating systems had not been able to create new Whatsapp accounts since earlier this year, after Microsoft announced it intends to kill off its phone software. Microsoft has urged smartphone users still using its operating systems to switch to an iPhone or Android by January. Whatsapp, which launched in 2009, has also confirmed it would remove some support for some older Apple and Android devices in 2020. Android versions 2.3.7 and older, and iOS 8 and older will lose support for the messaging service on February 1, Daily Mail reports. Each year Whatsapp removes support for older devices it says do not "offer the kind of capabilities we need to expand our app's features in the future". "'This was a tough decision but the right one to give people better ways to keep in touch with friends, family and loved ones," the messenger service said. Some support for older phone using Windows operating systems was removed at the beginning of 2018, along with support for BlackBerry devices. Facebook stopped developing its Facebook, Messenger and Instagram apps for Windows Phones in April. Apple says only 7 per cent of devices are running on a version of its operating system older than its latest iOS 12, released in 2018. Whatsapp will continue to support devices running on Android 4.0.3 and onwards, and iPhones running on iOS 9 and onwards.

"The 22-year-old and 23-year-old, both New Zealand nationals, have been evicted and have incurred a 24 hour ban from the MCG," a Victoria Police spokeswoman told. Eyewitnesses said security at the ground were escorting people out "who had sculled two or more beers". Barrett was filmed in the MCG stands earlier in the week, wearing an old Black Caps one-day international shirt. Barrett is currently in the rugby offseason, after being part of the All Blacks' World Cup squad that were beaten by England in a disappointing semifinal exit. They ended the tournament in third place after defeating Wales in the bronze match. Barrett had a brush with the law in June last year when police were called to a house in Dunedin after the star ended up in a stranger's house in the early hours after a night out. The 22-year-old brother of Beauden Barrett was discovered by two women in a Dunedin student flat about 5am.

The traffic congestion is just far too much.
I am going to give lower Albert Street a name change. Much along the lines of that movie Nightmare on Elm Street I am thinking much of Albert Street should be renamed Nightmare on Albert Street.
To have the NX1 and the other Shore buses converging on an area with ONLY ONE lane is ridiculous.
I use public transport in the evening to get from my place of work, on the Shore, back to New Lynn. Lower Albert Street especially from say the Shakespeare Tavern to Quay Street is pathetic now.
The awful thing is alot businesses and people using Albert Street are probably fed up to the back teeth with all the delays etc. It's like the so-called CRL is being dragged out too bloody long for many. And we have been told it could go on for another 5 bloody years. How many businesses along Albert Street in particular will go under whilst all that mess is going on????!!!!
The mess that the Auckland CBD has become is off-putting to anyone who thinks a good outing for the day is to go into the Auckland CBD.
Hi All,
For the last 2-3 weeks my parents have noticed a brown dog going up and down Hutchinson Avenue. It comes into our yard as well as down neighbours driveways. Doesn't have a collar and it has scared my parents quite a few times. Barks as soon as it sees anyone.

For the last 2-3 weeks my parents have noticed a brown dog going up and down Hutchinson Avenue. It comes into our yard as well as down neighbours driveways. Doesn't have a collar and it has scared my parents quite a few times. Barks as soon as it sees anyone.
I dunno whose dog this is, but please keep it under supervision. I haven't been able to take a picture of it yet.
