Earlier this month, we let you know that BBM was testing out new features that would help with the privacy. Now, this features seems to be ready to go live and free too, for now. Check it out!
Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll find in this latest release of BBM:
- Timed Messages: Set how long contacts have access to messages and pictures shared in a chat*
- Message Retraction: ‘Retract’ a message to remove it from your BBM chat*
- A quicker sticker picker: Adding stickers to your BBM chats is now even quicker with a new picker
- HD Picture Transfer: It’s easier than ever to get a high quality version of the pictures you receive in BBM
- Discover Music: See what music your contacts are listening to in BBM Feeds.
Whilst all sounds good, here’s the worrying clause:
Timed Messages and Message Retraction features are premium features that will be available free and without restriction 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.
Get the update now, in BlackBerry World!
