BBM, BlackBerry Messenger, BB Messenger

As we expected this morning, an update has rolled out to iOS that adds support for iPod and iPad (though in the tablet’s case, it’s using the smartphone version of the app). BlackBerry also enclosed a pretty sizable amount of additional changes for both iOS and Android, including:

  • Invite BBM contacts to BBM Groups by Email
  • ‘Tell your friends’ feature helps you connect with friends on BBM
  • Quickly share your BBM PIN and PIN barcode to your social networks
  • Fixes an issue where some users would be missing BBM Contact names
  • Resolves some issues experienced in right to left language support
  • Bug fixes and performance improvements

BlackBerry Messenger has certainly been a very popular addition to both Google Play and iTunes, having amassed a whopping 20 million downloads on both operating systems in the span of a week. The app is also one of the most highly demanded features on Windows Phone.

Get the latest updates right here. Happy messaging!
