[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]BlackBerry have released an update to BBM for BlackBerry 10, bringing the latest version to 10.8.5.14.
This update brings a much needed improvement in broadcast messaging, allowing users to send broadcast messages to specific categories.
BlackBerry are insistant on pushing emails while more successful, competitive apps are doing things with phone numbers. With that view, this update allows you to send and receive messages with email contacts in your address book that are not yet BBM contacts.
You can now annoy, sorry send or receive bbm messages to contacts who have email addresses but who aren’t BBM contacts.  That contact will then recveive a BBM invitation by email.

- Broadcast messages can now be sent to specific categories.
- Manage your Stickers – Choose which sticker packs are displayed in your Sticker Picker.
- Improved Voice Chat experience.\nYou now have the option to block receiving messages from a multi-person chat.
BBM Protected Updates:
