Offering users new ways to chat and share with more privacy and control over their communications, BlackBerry has announced that it has released several new features for BBM. At the core of the BBM experience is privacy and control. These two notions are more important today than ever before as people are looking for simple ways to help guard against their messages getting into the wrong hands or being seen by anyone other than the intended recipient.
“These new enhancements to BBM were highly requested so we are excited to be delivering them to users today. These capabilities will allow our users to be more creative in how they deliver their messages while also being confident that their content is kept private and seen only by its intended recipient,” said John Sims, President Global Enterprise Services, BlackBerry.
Timed Messages and Message Retraction are premium features that will be available free and without restriction to BBM users over the next three months. After this time, unrestricted access to these features will become part of a broader bundle of features that will be offered as part of a BBM subscription.
The latest announcement underscores the commitment to making BBM a world-class privacy-focussed instant messaging application. New features are available for download over the next couple of days for BlackBerry 10 smartphones, iPhones and Android smartphones by installing the latest BBM update in BlackBerry World, Apple App Store and Google Play.
