Update on Flash End-of-Life

 

 

 

With December 2020 approaching, we wanted to give you an update to the future of Webkinz. Back in May 2019, we released the Webkinz Desktop App, and later in the year we released the Mac version. These versions did still use the Flash Player, just without a browser.

 

We are pleased to announce that we will soon be releasing a NEW Desktop App that no longer uses Flash Player at all. This version will allow you to play Webkinz for years to come!

 

And there is no need to wait. By downloading and installing the current Desktop App, you will automatically be upgraded to the new version as soon as it is ready.

 

We at Ganz are very proud of Webkinz and have no intention of a little thing like Flash getting in the way of your fun! We will continue to support Webkinz with new items, new pets and all of your favorite events.

 

Download the Desktop Application now, and have fun in Webkinz World!

    Great news! Any possibility of an in-browser version without Flash? I’m also curious what the new desktop version will use instead of Flash.

    PLEASE include a mute option, i like to listen to music when playing and it makes it almost impossible. i muted the tab itself when playing in the browser but obviously that won’t be possible anymore.

    Thank you for all your hard work! I have a Mac and the window doesn’t fit within the screen. The right side is cut off so I can’t access the menu items that are on the bottom far right. Is there a way to resize the screen in a Mac?

    So what are players who play on cromebooks supposed to do? Will there be a special version for them?

    Can you please fix the phones so you can go to someone else’s house. I REALLY miss that since I have a lot of cool rooms to play in.

    Um, I know this may be off topic, but I keep getting friend requests from a Webkinz account. This is the third time the request has been sent, and the third time I have declined it. It is making me a bit uneasy… I know I have posted my username on Webkinz Newz a few times, but other then that, how did they get my username? I am worried that if I block the user I will get hacked. I need some security suggestions for my account. I have a strong password, but is there any way to set up a 2 step verification, like roblox, or do I need to have faith that no one will hack me, delete me, etc. Also, is there any way to get a deleted account back if you yourself did not delete it? Sorry to bombard the forum with so many questions, I’m just scared. I had an incident like this about a month back, with many users with strange usernames and millions of pet care hearts sent me requests. I declined them all, and that was probably a good thing I did. I need a response from anyone who may be able to help. Your moosie friend, bm88
