BBM for iOS beta has been updated to version 2.9.0.6 with several new features and improvements. After installing the update, users will be able to retract a message that has been sent hastily. This will be useful in case you have accidentally sent a message you wish you hadn't. With the new update, you can rescind the message as long as it wasn't already read. The message can be then edited (to replace the word "hate" with "love") and re-sent.

BBM for iOS (beta) updated (2.9.0.6) with message retraction and timed messages
BBM for iOS beta has been updated to version 2.9.0.6 with several new features and improvements. After installing the update, users will be able to retract a message that has been sent hastily. This will be useful in case you have accidentally sent a message you wish you hadn't. With the new update, you can rescind the message as long as it wasn't already read. The message can be then edited (to replace the word "hate" with "love") and re-sent.You can also set a timer to give your message a certain shelf life before it self destructs. If you don't want something you've written to linger afterward just in case it is read by the wrong people, the Timer feature can give you peace of mind, knowing that your message is no longer available to be read. In other words, you are giving the recipient of your missive a certain amount of time to read what you have to say before it disappears forever. The message retraction feature and the Timer are available via a separate subscription.
The beta update also offers several bug fixes to BBM for iOS. One such bug would freeze or crash the app if someone making a call using BBM hung up at the same time that the person being called answered the phone. Another bug fixed wouldn't allow Arabic numbers to be used when typing in a PIN to start a chat. If you come across any new bugs, the update will allow users to report a bug from the left menu on BBM's main screen.
BBM for iOS is available through TestFlight to only select members of the BBM beta community. You can download the update through the TestFlight app on your iOS device if you have subscribed for the beta program. Remember to back up your current messages by going to BBM > Settings > Toggle Save Chat History ON > Click Back-up Now. There is no word on when this build of BBM for iOS will drop the beta designation.

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.

BBM now available on the Windows Phone Store as a private beta
BBM has been available on iOS and Android for some time now, and BlackBerry promised that they will release a Windows Phone version as well. It looks like the app's development has progressed well, as a beta version has been released on the Windows Phone Store. 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.

- 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.

BBM Voice, which is already on BBM for BlackBerry 10, and will allow users to make free phone calls to other BBM users regardless of platform. After the update, BlackBerry 10, iOS and Android users will be able to share pictures, documents and voice notes with one click.
Additionally BlackBerry 10, iOS and Android users will be able to share pictures, documents and voice notes with a single click once they have updated their to the latest version of BBM.
BBM for iOS, Android and BlackBerry 10 will also get access to BBM Channels.These are basically discussion groups that users can create. Topics can include sports, hobbies, movies, television shows and more. Posting to a channel starts off a discussion and specific chat hours can be posted. BBM subscribers are alerted whenever there is a new post on a channel they follow. BlackBerry is hoping to monetize Channels by allowing companies to open a channel for a brand or specific product.
The update adds location sharing, powered by Glympse, which allows BBM subscriber to share his location with specific members, for a certain period of time. This is perfect for those times when you're running late and you want those you are supposed to meet, to be able to follow your progress to the meeting place in real time. The beauty of Glympse is that you set the period of time that your location is available for others to see. Once the time you set has expired, your whereabouts become private once again.
With the update to BBM, users receive support for the cloud based storage service Dropbox, allowing you to send files from your personal Dropbox account to your BBM contacts, and save files from BBM to your Dropbox account. Lastly, the update adds 100 new emoticons, bringing the total number to 200. Some of the new emoticons were based on drawings submitted by BBM subscribers.
