All about Tiktok
You cell phones Today they are increasingly thin and modern, capable of connecting to high -speed internet networks and supporting a large amount of applications. However, it seems that some people want to go back to the past.
According to a report by The New York Timesthe young people of generation Z, those born between 1997 and 2012, are sharing tricks in Tiktok to get a Blackberry on used resale sites. Yes, we are talking about the famous device that marked the season in the 2000s.
iPhone? That nothing!
According to the newspaper, the young people of that generation suffer from the so -called “technological nostalgia”. In addition, they would be tired of the various social networks present on modern devices, seeking to move away from the virtual world without, however, being totally offline.
And that is exactly what the BLACKBERRY BBM application allows. This functionality enables the exchange of messages only among the acquaintances who shared their pins with each other. The old phone can still be used to listen to music, access simple games and get on the internet.
The new fashion is already quite popular in Canada, the United States and in European countries. And gradually it has also arrived in Brazil. A Brazilian Tiktok profile, for example, posted a video showing the use of a BlackBerry in 2025. The publication already has over 841,000 views.
