BlackBerry Messenger officially arrives on Android and iPhone
Despite the current alternatives in the field of instant messaging, it seems that the classics never fail. And it is that BlackBerry Messenger, the messaging application of the battered company of the same name continues to arouse passions despite the fact that its latest terminals have failed to revive the company. Proof of this was the launch of the application just a month ago, which despite the problems managed a good number of downloads before being cancelledNow, once again, BBM, and this time it's for real.
This is the messaging application that until a month ago was exclusively for terminals BlackBerry A tool that allowed direct contact and instant to the users of these terminals in the purest style WhatsApp Now the doors are open for users of Android devices and iOS, multiplying your possibilities. An application for messaging but that also includes other possibilities such as sharing photos and videos, and that has a good and hilarious collection of emoticons Questions that don't add anything really new compared to WhatsApp or LINE but surprisingly still attracting attention.
This has been made known by the official account of BlackBerry on the social network Twitter, where they have confirmed the figure of more than5 million downloads in just eight hours of launch Of course, to avoid the problems of the previous attempt to release it on Android have implemented a subscription system in which the user must register and wait patiently for their service to be activated. This would avoid the chaos and saturation of last month which, due to a premature leak of the application, ended up causing problems in the service to the point of determining the launch cancellation The good thing is that those users who already signed up a month ago should have free access to the BlackBerry Messenger service After that, all that remains is to wait, although it is also possible to advance the step of creating a BlackBerry ID or user account if you do not have one .
The application is not far from what is seen in terminals BlackBerry 10 In fact it is an adaptation of that application for Android and iPhone With it it is possible to add contacts and acquaintances with terminals BlackBerry or other operating systems that have decided install the app. Just scroll to the contacts tab and select the desired one to start a conversation. In the same way as in other messaging applications, you just have to write on the text box and send the message. Either in individual or group conversations
The good thing is that in BBM there are more reliable notifications of sending and receiving messages than in WhatsApp That is, its double check does indicate that the user has read the message by accessing said conversation.It also allows you to share more content such as images and videos. All this safely and reliably.
In short, an application awaited by many users who, perhaps out of nostalgia, download and try this tool, even if they have to ask your contacts through WhatsApp to download it. BlackBerry Messenger or BBM is now available for both Android as for iPhone totally free through from Google Play and App Store
