BBM lets you protect your privacy by controlling various features and setting in it.

How to Use BBM for Android & iphone?

The PROCESS : Blackberry have recently launched BBM for Android & iphone Users,Anyone can sign up for the service through a BlackBerry ID which is required to log-in into the app. If you don’t have a BlackBerry ID, you can create one by providing your email ID and choosing a password. After singing in the BBM for iOS app assigns you a PIN in a manner similar to BlackBerry Messenger it links with the phone’s unique PIN number, if you try to access your account from another device with the same BlackBerry ID, it will ask if you`d like to switch the account to new device, so one ID can be used only on one device.

Then you can add friends by sharing your PIN with them via SMS, email and social networks in addition to QR codes. If two IPhone have BBM installed then the PIN would first appear in messages and requires other users to manually enter it. The BBM for Ios looks like it`s been adopted from BlackBerry 10 device in terms of users interface. It reveals a slide out menu for Chats, Contacts, Groups, Updates and Invites.

Text, emoticons, voice notes and pictures can be shared in chats, and sending PDF documents are not possible in BBM.

The app lets you know if your message has been delivered and even read by the other users by placing a ‘D’ and ‘R’ sign next to the message. It also lets you know when other person is typing message by a ping alert.

DEFECTS : Unlike other chat apps such as WhatsApp, Line and WeChat, BBM doesn’t support video file transfers and sharing contacts. It also doesn’t offer push to chat, however BlackBerry mentions that BBM Voice (voice chat) will also be introduced to BBM for iOS and Android in future.
On native BlackBerry OS platform, it offers BBM Voice calling and BBM Video calling (only on BlackBerry 10).
