[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]BlackBerry have released an update to BBM for Android bringing support for Marshmallow and more.

BlackBerry has stopped attempting to charge users for all privacy and control features, which means that timed messages and photos, private chats, retraction and editing messages are now free.

BBM brings you together in the moment with friends and family through instant chats, voice calls, picture sharing, voice notes and more.

What’s New:

  • Scroll through all pictures shared within a 1:1 or multi-person chat
  • Choose if you want pictures taken within BBM chats saved to your device
  • Improved BBM Voice call quality
  • Marshmallow (Android 6.0) support
  • Performance improvements and bug fixes

Chat with friends on Android, BlackBerry and iPhone:

  • BBM is always on and always connected – no app to open
  • Know when messages have been delivered (D’s) and read (R’s)
  • Say ‘hello’ with BBM Voice – free voice calling between BBM Contacts
  • Quickly share photos, files, documents, voice notes and more
  • Allow contacts to view your location live on a map, powered by Glympse
  • See when contacts are responding to your message
  • Emoticons for every mood and emotion let you express yourself

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
    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 Channels: Join conversations happening now about the things you love.
    • Create a new channel to share your thoughts, ideas and passions.
    • Subscribe to an existing BBM channel to join chats with others who share your interests.
  • Create your own BBM profile:
    • Post a profile picture using images, pictures or even animated pictures (GIFs).
    • Update your status to let people know what you’re up to or how you feel
