#FRESHOUT9jaUpdate BBM To Be Available For iOS® and Android™ Users

If you’re addicted to BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), Blackberry plans to make your entire mobile social network usage worthwile. BlackBerry plans to make BBM which is their popular mobile messaging service, available to iOS® and Android™ users this summer, (subject to approval by Google Play and the Apple App Store, as applicable).

In the first version of multi-platform BBM, iOS and Android users will be able to experience the following BBM features:
    The immediacy of BBM chats
     Multi-person chats
     Voice note sharing
     BlackBerry Groups, where BBM users are able to set up groups of up to 30 people and share calendar, photos, files and more

     In a recent press release at BlackBerry Live 2013, Executive Vice President, Software Product Management and Ecosystem at BlackBerry, Andrew Bocking had this to say:

For BlackBerry, messaging and collaboration are inseparable from the mobile experience, and the time is definitely right for BBM to become a multi-platform mobile service. BBM has always been one of the most engaging services for BlackBerry customers, enabling them to easily connect while maintaining a valued level of personal privacy. We’re excited to offer iOS and Android users the possibility to join the BBM community.

 Could this move result to the extinction of Blackberry smartphones or it will inspire technology??? Time will tell.
