BBM for iOS (beta) updated (2.9.0.6) with message retraction and timed messages

BBM for BlackBerry 10 (beta) updated with custom PIN and no ad options

The update is live right now in the BlackBerry Beta Zone, though it does appear to be a limited beta so you might have to wait this one out until it actually goes official. Keep in mind that updating will wipe all your current BBM chats.
BBM for iOS (beta) updated (2.7.0.59) with custom PIN and no ad options

Keep in mind, you have to be signed up for the beta, have a Test Flight account, an invite to test BBM for iOS and of course, an iOS device in order to download this latest version.

[Windows Phone app] BBM (beta) updated; public launch coming soon

You can download the update directly on your device through the Windows Phone Store or by using the following link:
BBM is BlackBerry's proprietary messaging app and it is now available across Android, iOS and Windows Phone along with the company's own BlackBerry OS. BlackBerry hopes that by offering their popular messaging solution across their competitors platforms, they will get the world to once again take notice of their own platform and devices.
Still certain BBM features have still not made their way across iOS and Android, including BBM Video, which allows BBM members to conduct a video chat with another member. BBM Video is highly regarded on BlackBerry OS, so it ideally would make sense for BlackBerry to try and coax customers to use this service on competing platforms rather than allow them to get comfortable with what they have.
[Windows Phone app] BBM no longer in 'beta'

You can download the latest version of BBM directly on your device through the Windows Phone Store or by using the following link:
BBM for Windows Phone version 1.0.1 also brings bug fixes and other performance improvements. The updated app also loads faster and an issue where the app would display in English even though the device was set for Spanish has been fixed.
BBM for Windows Phone has been built in the native Tile based user interface on Windows Phones. It offers users the ability to pin specific chats to their Start Screens for quick acces.

BBM for Windows Phone is a cross platform messaging application, which will allow you to stay connected to your friends and family through instant chats, picture sharing, voice notes and more. BBM is available across iOS, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone.
BBM for Windows Phone version 1.0.0.0 has the following features:

BBM, now specially designed for Windows Phone
- BBM picks up the modern look & feel of Windows Phone
- Pin BBM Groups and 1:1 chats to the Start screen for easy access to your most important chats
Chat and Share with many at once:
- Groups – BBM groups help you share pictures, lists and appointments with group members. You can even be in a group with people who aren't part of your own BBM contact list.
- Multi-person chats – Invite multiple contacts to have a chat together.
- Broadcast messages – Send a message to multiple BBM contacts at one time.
BBM lets you protect your privacy. You control it:
- You chose how to share your information – BBM uses PINs instead of phone numbers or email addresses so that it's more private and you always control who can contact you
- You chose your contacts – 2-way opt-in means you have control over who is able to message you
Create your own BBM profile:
- Post a profile picture using images or pictures
- Update your status to let people know what you're up to or how you feel
BBM now available on the Windows Phone Store as a private beta

Unfortunately it is still in a private beta state, so you will require an invitation in order to use the app. However given that it is in beta, it likely won't be long before the public will get to enjoy BBM on their Windows Phones.
BlackBerry notes on the description that the popular messaging service is compatible for phones running Windows Phone 8 and Windows Phone 8.1. Most of the features that iOS and Android users have will also be included in the initial release:
BBM for Windows beta. We’re getting ready to welcome Windows Phone users to the BBM community. BBM brings you together in the moment with friends and family through instant chats, voice calls, picture sharing, voice notes and more.
BBM, which has over 85 million active monthly users, is currently available on BlackBerry, iOS and Android devices. Are you excited about BBM for Windows Phone ? Or do you use a different messaging service? Leave us a comment and let us know.
If you have an invite to download BBM for Windows Phone, you can do so right now by following the link below.

BBM for Android and iOS updated (2.2) with simplified sign-up, new emoticons and more

You can download the update directly on your device through its respective app stores. You can also download the latest version and find out what's new after the break
Android | iOS | BlackBerry | |
Download | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
Price | Free | Free | Free |
Requirements | Varies with device | iOS 6.0 or greater | BlackBerry 10 |
- Easier sign up
The BBM sign-up process has been optimized in this update, by cutting down the number of fields it takes to get signed up, so you can start chatting and sharing even faster. Name. Email. Password. That’s all you need to get started on BBM! For those of you already on BBM today, this change won't impact you at all.

- Easier Friending
The update also improves how you add new BBM contacts through email. Today, it’s a somewhat cumbersome and complicated process. This new release will simplify the process so that when you receive a BBM invite by email - all you have to do is click the link and presto, you’re BBM contacts. No need to send a PIN invite back.
- New Emoticons & more
You’ll also find 16 new BBM emoticons in this release - from a hotdog, and maracas, to a hacker and a pair of hot lips. What you know today has been renamed as the ‘Updates’ tab…‘Feeds’ has been renamed to better represent what you find there – the latest statuses and profile photos from your BBM contacts and the newest posts from the BBM Channels you follow.
Have you received the BBM update yet? If so leave us a comment and let us know which of these features you like the most

Along with the stickers, and the BBM Store, the update brings the ability for BBM users to share photos in multi-person chats. The pictures will initially appear as a thumbnail that can be opened up to full size. Higher quality pictures, and videos and presentations, can now be shared on BBM chat. That is because BlackBerry has increased the size of a file that can be shared, from 6MB to 16MB.

BlackBerry Messenger for Android and iOS coming this weekend

BlackBerry notes that BBM for Android will require Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or higher, while BBM for iPhone will be available to users on iOS 6 and iOS 7.
BBM for Android and BBM for iOS will feature many of the same features available on BBM on BlackBerry. These include basic chat, BBM Groups multi-person chats, delivery and read receipts, photo sharing and a unique PIN that'll be assigned to each user. BlackBerry promises that it's planning to add features like BBM Voice and BBM Video calling as well as BBM Channel communities in the future.
The BBM Messenger has been one of the BlackBerry platforms greatest appeals allowing its users a quick, free and reliable way to keep in touch with their friends without having to use text messaging. While there are many alternative messaging services available today, BBM has had a strong fanbase who solely rely on the service for their communication.
Now with many past BlackBerry fans having switched to new platforms, it will be interesting to see if the introduction of the messenger on their new platforms will bring back their BBM pride. We are looking forward to see how many users download BBM for Android and iOS, but we are more interested to see how many of them continue to use the service on their devices.

BBM for Android APK leaks, though not for everyone

However it looks like APK file for the Android platform has prematurely leaked out to the public.
Unfortunately the leaked APK comes with a catch. Users who intend to get involved with the new BBM will first of all have to have their BlackBerry IDs authenticated with BlackBerry’s servers before the product will work. Unless you are an official beta tester of this port, then it’s unlikely that your ID will be able to sign into the leaked app.
So even though you get to enjoy the esthetically pleasing BBM Messenger for Android, it serves as nothing more than a visual example until the service is available to the public after its launch. If you are interested in checking it out or already have a valid BBM account you can download the APK below or by following the source link below.
We are very curious to see what the future holds for BlackBerry and is their decision to offer BBM as a cross platform messaging solution has the desired results. If the September 18th launch becomes a relaity, we wont have long to find out.
