BBM, BlackBerry Messenger Updates, Changes to BBM

If you’re running BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) on iOS 8, you’ll be happy to know that BlackBerry has released an update (version 2.6.1.31) for the platform that gives the app a more native look and feel.

In addition, the new BBM finally brings over the timed message support a feature that was added to the Windows Phone version in mid-December and added to the Android version at the beginning of the month. You can also now send stickers in group chats.

There’s still more to love in the latest update. The full changelog follows:

  • We’ve refined BBM to look more at home on iOS 8
  • Improved layout for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus
  • Send stickers in group chats!
  • Timed pictures and messages can now be viewed multiple times until the timer expires
  • Added a new 60 second timer option
  • Bug fixes & performance improvements
