BlackBerry BBM For Android and iOS [TECH]

BlackBerry has announced that the BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) will no longer be exclusive to BlackBerry device users, and will be available as a free app for the iPhone and Android smartphones.

The service allows you to chat and share information with up to 30 users in a single conversation, and ensures your privacy with a unique PIN which you can use when deciding if you want to share your contact information with others.

BBM is available through the Play Store now for Android, and will be available for download via The App Store for iOS starting at 12:01AM EST Sunday, September 21st 2013.

BBM App for iPhone & Android [TECH]

Announced today during BlackBerry Live 2013, BBM is set to go cross-platform this summer.

That means BlackBerry, iOS and Android users will able be able to chat seamlessly over BBM very soon. Cross-platform BBM is long overdue but is sure to make for plenty of happy BlackBerry users in just a few months.

The rollout will first include just chat, but soon to follow will be BBM Voice, BBM Video and even BBM Channels. Users on iOS and Android will get the same features of BBM that BlackBerry users already have so it should be pretty exciting. Best of all? It will still be totally free.

Plenty more on this to come soon so stay tuned!
