Once again, I’ve not read a single report that suggests that BBM will rescue BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) (TSE:BB), however, it’s nice they decided to throw a life preserver to those who love the app years after they jumped BlackBerry’s sinking ship. There are a large number of Android and iPhone users who have owned a BlackBerry at one time or another. For those concerned about privacy, you’ll be happy to hear that BlackBerry will assign you a PIN and you will not need to disclose your phone number or email to anyone in order to begin messaging.įor millions, the app will be a matter of nostalgia. Signup is done through the app once its installed. In order to use the app, you will need to signup for a BlackBerry ID, which will only take a few minutes. It’s features include everything you’ve come to expect from the program: traditional instant messaging, group chat for up to 30 people, and user profiles.
It supports all Android-powered smartphones running Ice Cream Sandwich and above, and iPhones running iOS 6 and above. Never mind the delays, it is finally here and BBM for Android and iOS is completely free. Or follow us on Google+, Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook, and/or RSS.
