  • 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
