The release of BlackBerry Messenger 6.0 introduced additional traits. Users can also set animated gif pictures as their display pictures, although animated pictures have a 32KB size limit. Recent BlackBerry devices can also exchange BBM contacts using Near Field Communication technology. With the release of BlackBerry Messenger 5.0, BlackBerry allows users to use a QR Code to add each other to their respective friends lists rather than using only numeric PIN identification or an email address associated with the user's BlackBerry. History īlackBerry Messenger was launched on August 1, 2005. As of April 2016, Indonesia was the only country where BBM was the most popular messaging app – installed on 87.5% of Android devices in the country. īBM was the original "mobile-first" messaging service, and was popular for a while before it started to lose out to rivals.
There were more than 190 million BBM users worldwide as of 2015, and BlackBerry infrastructure handled 30 petabytes of data traffic each month by early 2013.
Daily, approximately 150,000 BBM Voice Calls were placed. In addition to offering text-based instant messages, BBM also allowed users to send pictures, voicenotes (audio recordings), files (up to 16 MB), share real time location on a map, stickers and a wide selection of emojis.Ĭommunication was possible only among BlackBerry devices, until late 2013 when BBM was released on iOS and Android systems. Exchanging messages was possible to a single person or via dedicated discussion or chat groups, which allowed multiple BlackBerry devices to communicate in a single session. In the past, many service providers allowed sign-in to BBM using a dedicated BlackBerry data plan.
Messages sent via BBM were sent over the Internet and used the BlackBerry PIN system. BBM Consumer for Android and iOS was shut down on, however the paid enterprise version of the software, BBMe, is still supported on these platforms. The consumer edition for BlackBerry OS and BlackBerry 10, as well as the paid enterprise edition, called BBM Enterprise (BBMe, formerly known as BBM Protected), were developed fully by BlackBerry Limited and continue to function. The consumer edition for iOS and Android, BBM Consumer, was developed by Indonesian company Emtek under licence from BlackBerry Limited (formerly known as Research In Motion). BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry 10, iOS, Android, Windows Phone 8, Windows 10 Mobile, Nokia XīBM, also known by its full name BlackBerry Messenger, was a proprietary mobile instant messenger and videotelephony application included on BlackBerry devices that allows messaging and voice calls between BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry 10, iOS, Android, and Windows Mobile users.
