New Delhi: BlackBerry is out with an updated version of 2.6 app for Android, iOS and BlackBerry OS, offering a number of updates based on user feedback.
The company said BBM stickers can now be sent in groups, which is certainly good news for the users, as it was heavily requested. BlackBerry is also giving a special offer on sticker packs, which are priced at $0.99 (roughly Rs 62) for a limited time.
BlackBerry has also introduced a Snapchat kind of timed messages and photos, which enable you to set timer as high as 60 seconds. You can also view timed items as many times so long as they have not expired.
BBM 2.6 offers a design that matches with the iOS 8's UI design. The app is optimised for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus screens. This has led to improved rendering on large screens, and a flatter look, which matches iOS's overall aesthetic.
“BBM now looks more at home than ever before on iOS 8. A fresh new look and feel has been applied to BBM for iOS, and we've updated the app to support the new screen sizes of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. You can't help but notice the sleek and modern design updates like a flat UI and attractive transparencies. These adjustments make BBM look sharp across supported Apple devices,” the company said.
The new version of BBM now supports Android Lollipop, a new landscape mode and sent/read receipts for photos and messages.
The updated BBM app is available to download from Google Play, App Store and BlackBerry World.
