Creative Media Works has released the latest update to BBM for iPhone, which brings the @mention features, posting video clips to your feeds and more.
Users can now use the @mention feature to make introductions and share BBM contacts. Start by typing @ along with the first few letters of the name to have the recommended list appear on top of the chatbox. The @Mention feature can also be used when you reply messages and when you send image, video and document in BBM Groups.
The member you tag will have an @ icon follow by the number (depending on how many times you mentioned the member) when he/she enters the group. Tapping on the @icon will directly show your chat.
First available in BBM for Android, iOS users can now upload and view video post in both Feeds and Timeline (your profile or friend’s profile). Start off by clicking on “What’s on your mind” to see the Create Post screen, then click on the media icon. You’ll start in the image gallery by default so switch to the video tab. Choose any video, enter any caption (optional) and click “Done” once you finish.
Users can now reply with media, stickers or BBMoji.
Finally, in a vain effort to bring users back to the platform, you can “invite friends” from the contacts tab.
BBM is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
What’s New Summary:
- Use the @mention feature to make introductions and share BBM contacts
- Share the moment, or just share the laughs by posting video clips to your feeds!
- Now you can reply with stickers or BBMoji!
- “invite friends” option in the contacts tab
