Less than a month after the BMM for Android and iOS apps were rolled out, BlackBerry has updated the two versions. Apart from the usual bug fixes, subscribers can expect some new features as well. One of the advantages is that the application meant for the Apple devices now also supports iPod and iPads.
Let’s first take a look at exactly what the Android version of the instant messaging service has in store for us. First and foremost, there are performance improvements and the Canadian company has enhanced Group List sorting and filtering. Support for BBM contact categories has also been thrown into the mix.
Moreover, it will now use much less battery and you will not find yourself scouting for a charger if you have faced this issue. Finding friends who are using BBM is more simple as you can come to know about them via social networks and some more ways of sharing BBM PIN Barcode have been introduced as well. Users can click on the three dots and then on Share Pin to send it to others using different methods.
Coming to the iOS version, it is now compatible with all the iDevices running versions 6 and 7 of the mobile platform. Some improvements have been made to the right-to-left languages and bugs for BBM contact names have been fixed. And the aforementioned feature of finding friends through social networks is also available for Apple gadgets.
