BBM 2.2 Coming to Android Tonight, iOS in Days, & BlackBerry 10 in "Coming Weeks"

bbmupdate1

BlackBerry is driving home their plans on growing BBM on Android and iOS with a new update to v2.2. This new update mainly simplifies the sign up process on Android and iOS by cutting down the fields it takes to get signed up to just a name, email, and password. They also make it easier to add BBM contacts through email instead of having to send an invite back. They have also thrown in 16 new emoticons for extra kicks.

BlackBerry has confirmed that this update is coming to Google Play for Android tonight. It will then roll out to iOS in the coming days. BlackBerry did promise that they have a special release for BlackBerry 10 and legacy BlackBerry devices in a couple weeks with a few special bonus items. That makes sense since the simpler sign up process really only makes sense on other platforms that do not already require a BBID.

Users who still have their original iPhone can also transfer their SIM card back to the device and go to Settings -> Messages to turn iMessage off. 


Users switching from an iPhone to another device were often unable to receive SMS messages from another iPhone due to their phone number still being linked to iMessage. These specific errors with iMessage have been a well-known issue since 2011, which is when the messaging service debuted with iOS 5. They were also made even more apparent this past May, where a server glitch caused widespread message delivery problems. Apple was even sued over the matter in a California court, although the company cla…
