BlackBerry 10#Devices

The operating system was originally called BBX, but this was changed when BlackBerry was blocked from using the BBX trademark after legal action from BASIS International, who already used it for their software.{{cite web|last=Lawler|first=Richard|title=RIM loses BBX trademark battle, next OS is named BlackBerry 10|date=7 December 2011 |url=https://www.engadget.com/2011/12/06/rim-loses-bbx-trademark-battle-next-os-is-named-blackberry-10/|publisher=Engadget|access-date=7 December 2011|archive-date=4 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190404172158/https://www.engadget.com/2011/12/06/rim-loses-bbx-trademark-battle-next-os-is-named-blackberry-10/|url-status=live}}

BlackBerry continued to support and develop the PlayBook with its separate Tablet OS.

On 14 May 2013 BlackBerry OS 10.1 was launched. This brought improvements to many features requested by users.

On 13 September 2013, in Asia, BlackBerry announced the launch of BlackBerry OS 10.2 and a new BlackBerry 10 device, the Z30, providing performance increases over the previous BlackBerry 10 devices.

On June 18, 2014, BlackBerry announced an official relationship with Amazon.com, which resulted in the 10.3 update bundling the Amazon Appstore.

On 15 December 2017, BlackBerry CEO John S. Chen announced that there would be at least two years of support for BlackBerry 10 and BlackBerry OS devices. At that time, the operating system was expected to be end of life at the end of 2019, with many built-in software packages having their support ended (such as Facebook, Dropbox, Evernote, LinkedIn, etc.).{{Cite news|url=https://crackberry.com/linkedin-blackberry-10-being-retired-november-27|title=LinkedIn for BlackBerry 10 being retired on November 27|date=2017-10-30|work=CrackBerry.com|access-date=2017-12-17|archive-date=2017-11-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171101200247/https://crackberry.com/linkedin-blackberry-10-being-retired-november-27|url-status=live}}{{Cite news|url=https://crackberry.com/fyi-built-dropbox-blackberry-10-no-longer-works-here-are-some-alternatives|title=FYI: Built-in Dropbox app on BlackBerry 10 no longer works, try these apps instead!|work=CrackBerry.com|access-date=2017-12-17|archive-date=2018-09-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180909073948/https://crackberry.com/fyi-built-dropbox-blackberry-10-no-longer-works-here-are-some-alternatives|url-status=live}}{{Cite news|url=https://crackberry.com/evernote-will-discontinue-support-evernote-blackberry|title=Evernote will discontinue support for Evernote for BlackBerry 10 as of June 29|date=2017-06-26|work=CrackBerry.com|access-date=2017-12-17|archive-date=2017-12-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171215085213/https://crackberry.com/evernote-will-discontinue-support-evernote-blackberry|url-status=live}}

BlackBerry Limited have announced that the operating system BlackBerry 7.1 OS and earlier, BlackBerry 10 software and BlackBerry PlayBook will become end of life effectively starting from January 4, 2022. After this period, some of the applications and services such as data, phone calls, SMS and 9-1-1 functionality built into it may not function properly.{{Cite web|title=BlackBerry 10 and BlackBerry OS Services FAQ - End of Life|url=https://www.blackberry.com/us/en/support/devices/end-of-life|access-date=2020-09-19|website=www.blackberry.com|archive-date=2022-01-01|archive-url=https://archive.today/20220101160550/https://www.blackberry.com/us/en/support/devices/end-of-life|url-status=live}}

The touchscreen is the predominant input method of BlackBerry 10, in addition to hardware keyboard for devices that have one. Users can use gestures and keyboard shortcuts to navigate around the system. For instance, a user can unlock the device or return to the home screen by swiping from the bottom to the top. Some gestures offer additional modes of interaction when they are used differently. For instance, the same gesture can be used to show unread notifications when the user swipes from the bottom edge to somewhat the middle and slightly to the right and also keep the finger on the touchscreen. Similarly, when the finger is moved from the bottom to the right in a curved motion, the user can enter BlackBerry Hub immediately.{{cite web|title = Review: BlackBerry 10 is better, much better, late than never|url = https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/02/review-blackberry-10-is-better-much-better-late-than-never/5/|last = Ion|first = Florence|date = 2013-02-06|access-date = 2017-06-14|archive-date = 2017-07-04|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170704142626/https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/02/review-blackberry-10-is-better-much-better-late-than-never/5/|url-status = live}} Devices with a hardware keyboard can use keyboard shortcuts to reach applications or perform specific functions more quickly.

When a user returns to the home screen from within an application, the application is minimized into a so-called "Active Frame". An Active Frame is a miniaturized window of the application that keeps running in the background. A user can return to such an application by tapping on the Active Frame or close it by tapping on the X icon. Active Frames can have widget-like functionality and show small bits of information, similar to widgets on Android. For instance, the calendar application can show upcoming events and meetings. BlackBerry 10 limits the number of active applications and it varies per device.{{cn|date=February 2025}}

BlackBerry 10 collates emails, SMS/MMS, calls and notifications into the BlackBerry Hub. It shows all messages and notifications in a continuous list, sorted by date. The user can filter results by application or, in the case of email, also by inbox. The user can create, view or act upon messages or notifications directly from the Hub. For instance, when the user opens a Facebook message, the Hub will open a small part of the Facebook application and allow the user to perform the same actions as the Facebook application itself. Applications need to support the Hub specifically to use most of these features, which is only possible for applications written with the native SDK. Notifications from unsupported applications are collated in the generic notifications tab.{{cn|date=February 2025}}

Other notable features of BlackBerry 10 include:

• A virtual keyboard with support for predictive typing and several gestures.{{cite news |title=BlackBerry Hub, BBM and keyboard |url=http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/software/operating-systems/blackberry-10-1090522/review/2#articleContent |page=2 |last=McCann |first=John |work=TechRadar |date=30 January 2013 |access-date=12 February 2013 |archive-date=16 February 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130216085744/http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/software/operating-systems/blackberry-10-1090522/review/2#articleContent |url-status=live }}"BlackBerry 10: A Compelling Introduction."

• Voice control and BlackBerry Assistant (10.3.1 and later), a virtual assistant, with which the user can perform various tasks by voice input or typed queries.
• BlackBerry Balance, with which the user can separate personal from work data, if enabled by the device's enterprise server. The user can switch between two workspaces, each with their own applications, files and accounts.
• BlackBerry Link, with which the user can synchronize data between the device and a computer, update the device or make backups. It supports iTunes and Windows Media Player.

BlackBerry 10 has a number of applications that help users perform various tasks and activities. These include a web browser, as well applications for notes, reminders, calculator, clock, music, media, weather and file management. Cloud services like Box and Dropbox are also integrated by default. In addition, BlackBerry's messaging service BlackBerry Messenger is included, which supports video chat, VoIP and screen sharing.

BlackBerry 10 can run applications that were written with its native SDK, Android applications compiled for API levels 10–18{{Cite web|url = https://developer.blackberry.com/android/apisupport/unsupported_api_jellybean_appfeatures.html|title = App features|access-date = January 8, 2016|website = BlackBerry Developer|archive-date = March 4, 2016|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160304102445/https://developer.blackberry.com/android/apisupport/unsupported_api_jellybean_appfeatures.html|url-status = live}} (support varies per version) and applications written for Adobe AIR (only supported until version 10.3.1). BlackBerry 10 provides the distribution platform BlackBerry World. Since version 10.2.1, Android application packages can be installed directly, whereas on previous versions Android applications could only be installed through BlackBerry World or by sideloading, which required packaging such applications into a native package format (BAR).{{cite web|title = How BlackBerry 10 Runs 28,000 Android Apps Without a Back Button|url = https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2414928,00.asp|website = PC Magazine|access-date = 18 June 2014|last = Segan|date = January 31, 2013|first = Sascha|archive-date = 5 June 2023|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20230605031631/https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2414928,00.asp|url-status = live}} On version 10.3, BlackBerry Limited partnered with Amazon to bundle Amazon Appstore as another source of Android apps.{{cite web |last=Kastrenakes |first=Jacob |date=June 18, 2014 |title=BlackBerry will bring thousands of apps from Amazon's store to its phones |url=https://www.theverge.com/2014/6/18/5820472/blackberry-phones-getting-amazon-appstore-apps-in-bb10-3 |access-date=June 18, 2014 |website=The Verge |archive-date=June 4, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230604113425/https://www.theverge.com/2014/6/18/5820472/blackberry-phones-getting-amazon-appstore-apps-in-bb10-3 |url-status=live }}

At the 2013 BlackBerry Live conference, BlackBerry announced that they had more than 120,000 applications.{{Cite web|url = http://blogs.blackberry.com/2013/05/blackberry-live-keynote/|title = BlackBerry Live 2013 Keynote Highlights and Announcements [VIDEO]|date = May 14, 2013|access-date = January 8, 2016|website = Inside BlackBerry|first = Donny|last = Halliwell|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160115134634/http://blogs.blackberry.com/2013/05/blackberry-live-keynote/|archive-date = January 15, 2016|url-status = dead}}

Some developers have offered applications to access the Google Play Store, although this is not sanctioned by BlackBerry or Google. Applications that depend on the Google Play Services framework may not run. Similarly, Android applications that require a newer API level than 18 cannot run on BlackBerry 10.

BlackBerry 10 supports the following BlackBerry smartphones, all of which can run the latest version. The BlackBerry Leap is the last smartphone from BlackBerry to run the BlackBerry 10 operating system, as BlackBerry devices are now running Android instead.

Building up to the launch, the company made substantial changes to how it had previously engaged developers, being substantially more active at courting developers, solving issues and being transparent about development updates. The company sent two teams to engage developers. The first, focused on acquiring premier applications from third parties. The second team focused on engaging the broader development community and building the platforms application count.{{cite web|title=Meet the man who would make BlackBerry apps cool|url=http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57565905-94/meet-the-man-who-would-make-blackberry-apps-cool/|access-date=2013-02-28|archive-date=2013-02-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130212112352/http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57565905-94/meet-the-man-who-would-make-blackberry-apps-cool/|url-status=live}}

In May 2012, the company released a prototype touch screen smartphone to BlackBerry developers as part of the BlackBerry 10 Jam Conference in Orlando, Florida. The Dev Alpha A device, which resembled a small BlackBerry PlayBook, ran an early version of the operating system and was provided as a means for developers to develop and test their applications on a physical device.{{cite web|title=BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha Device – Announced from Thorsten Heins {{!}} BlackBerry Empire|url=http://www.blackberryempire.com/2012/05/01/blackberry-10-dev-alpha-device-announced-from-thorsten-heins/|access-date=7 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120506061710/http://www.blackberryempire.com/2012/05/01/blackberry-10-dev-alpha-device-announced-from-thorsten-heins/|archive-date=2012-05-06|url-status=dead}}

In September 2012, a second developer prototype was released in September 2012, known as the Dev Alpha B.

Acquisition of a Dev Alpha C device was based around a point system, meaning that developers who had previously developed apps for BlackBerry, or who already received the Dev Alpha A/B devices, had a higher chance of receiving a Dev Alpha C device than a new BlackBerry developer. It was released at the BlackBerry Jam Europe 2013 event in February 2013.{{cite web |url=https://crackberry.com/first-look-and-hands-blackberry-dev-alpha-c |title=First look and hands on with the BlackBerry Dev Alpha C |date=5 February 2013 |access-date=23 September 2024 |archive-date=30 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230130121609/https://crackberry.com/first-look-and-hands-blackberry-dev-alpha-c |url-status=live }}

Reviews of BlackBerry 10 were mixed. David Pogue of The New York Times noted that the software was, "simple to master, elegantly designed and surprisingly complete. It offers features nobody else offers, some tailored to the corporate world that raised BlackBerry aloft in its glory days."{{cite news|title = BlackBerry, Rebuilt, Lives to Fight Another Day|newspaper = The New York Times|date = 30 January 2013|url = https://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/31/technology/the-blackberry-refreshed-lives-to-fight-another-day.html?pagewanted=all|access-date = 30 January 2013|last1 = Pogue|first1 = David|archive-date = 30 January 2013|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130130215807/http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/31/technology/the-blackberry-refreshed-lives-to-fight-another-day.html?pagewanted=all|url-status = live}} Walt Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal referred to the operating system as "logical and generally easy to use."

Wagner goes on to say that the Hub "works out to function a bit more like a junk drawer." He also reports what he refers to as the "Tragic Flaw": "Unlike every other major OS right now, BlackBerry does not feel fully integrated."{{cite web|title=BlackBerry Z10 Review: Not Good Enough|work=Gizmodo|date=18 February 2013|url=https://gizmodo.com/5984411/blackberry-z10-review-not-good-enough|access-date=March 19, 2013|archive-date=18 March 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130318111101/http://gizmodo.com/5984411/blackberry-z10-review-not-good-enough|url-status=live}}

Regarding the apps in BlackBerry World "really impressed by the quality of apps BlackBerry World has to offer", it notes that the application ecosystem is not as large as Android and iOS because of its age (brand new) and finishes with "doubtlessly many more will come around once they see the Z10 getting traction in the wild." Its general summary of BlackBerry 10 (with thought for its predecessor) "is that BlackBerry 10 really is the best of the old and the best of the new assembled seamlessly into an elegant, practical, and integrated package."{{cite web |url=https://crackberry.com/blackberry-10-review |title=BlackBerry 10 Review |date=30 January 2013 |access-date=23 September 2024 |archive-date=29 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231129223433/https://crackberry.com/blackberry-10-review |url-status=live }}

BlackBerry 10 added a compatibility layer for Android software, which allowed developers to repackage their Android apps for distribution on BlackBerry World. This feature was received poorly as the Android apps "performed abysmally on the phone. Sluggish, ugly, and disconnected from the core OS. In fact, because these apps are being run in a software emulation of Android — Gingerbread no less (that's version 2.3) — they bear little to no relationship to the rest of the operating system".{{cite web|url=https://www.theverge.com/2013/1/30/3929760/blackberry-z10-review|title=BlackBerry Z10 review: a new life, or life support?|first=Joshua|last=Topolsky|date=30 January 2013|access-date=30 August 2017|archive-date=14 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170814033829/https://www.theverge.com/2013/1/30/3929760/blackberry-z10-review|url-status=live}} Later versions added the ability for users to manually install Android app packages.
