This will be BlackBerry Messenger for Android phones
It seems that, even though BlackBerry is running out of time, it is on track to deliver on its promise to create a version of its well-known messaging system, BlackBerry Messenger, for other mobile platforms. And it is that images and videos of what this application might look like on Android have begun to circulate on the Internet , even showing how it works.Something that is not surprising since, according to what we have seen, it would perfectly imitate the application of the operating system BlackBerry 10
Apparently, the leaked images would not respond to the final version of the application, which is supposed to arrive before the end of the summer at platform Android and also to iPhone, but they would be images of a test version or Beta version However, comparing it with the version of BB 10, the final result would not change too much, respecting the lines, design and even buttons and menus of the original application. Of course, some features would have been tweaked to fit in the environment Android
As shown BlackBerry Messenger for Android would allow chats or individual and group conversations.Both are separated by tabs to easily find the ones you want. In the same way that happens in WhatsApp, it would also have a tab for list the added contactswith whom you can contact through this messaging service, showing their profile photos. And this is where one of the curiosities appears for Android It would be a more comfortable way to add new contacts using technology NFC(Near Field Communication), just bringing the back of both terminals together to share information instantly.
Apart from this, the functions regarding the sending of messages seem un alterable with respect to the original version. From what can be seen in the video, its operation is really fast, practically instantaneous, reflecting the marks and indicators of message received. It also has a large selection of emoticons to give color to conversations.Along with this there is also the possibility of sending content such as photos and voice recordings, although it seems that the videos and the current location of the user have been left out of the pipeline . A weak point compared to other alternatives such as WhatsApp
Along with these functions, which remain in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen, there are two pop-up menus, both to the left as to the right. The one on the left is a quick access to the different types of conversations, being able to access them from any chat without having to go back. For its part, the menu on the right contains the settings menu, the option to send a broadcast or send invitations for other users to join.
In short, a tool practically copied from the original, even in the field sound, using the same notification tone.However, it seems that it is arriving late, in a market dominated by tools such as WhatsApp, LINE and WeChat, and coming from a declining platform where there won't be many contacts left to chat with. But the worst thing is that there is still no official date, so we will have to wait to see what the final version of is like BlackBerry Messenger for both Android and iPhone
