BBM’s availability on Android and iOS adds splendidly to Blackberry’s follower count
‘20 million downloads in just one week’, isn’t that an amazing figure? But, this is what BBM has managed to touch, in just one week after its availability for Android and other iOS phone systems.
With more than 80 million active users’ world over, BBM’s popularity is clearly visible. The re-launch version of BBM for Android and iOS has pushed it to become the #1 free app in more than 107 countries and most popular free app in 35 countries as listed in Google Play. Happy with the download count, the makers aim at increasing interactions now. They say its active users that matter, more than the download numbers.
You can now download BBM free of cost with Google Play and App Store, what your Android phone needs for this is Jelly Bean (Android 4.x) and Ice Cream Sandwich, while the iPhone must run on iOS6 or iOS7. Just visiting the website www.BBM.comwill help you download and install the same on your smartphone.
One-on-one and group text chats with instant freedom to share photos and voice videos alongside liberty to send message to all in one go with “broadcast Message” functionality, are just few of the ace features.
BBM is BlackBerry’s most valuable asset standing alongside Blackberry Enterprise Server- the corporate email service. But, comparing with WhatsApp, BBM still needs to catch up a lot seeing the 200m Vs 80m user count of WhatsApp Vs BBM.
Twitter, the ace micro-blogging site, motivated by the popularity of BBM and WhatsApp, now plans to launch a standalone direct-messaging app soon.
