Click on any of the image below to start downloading BBM on your mobile device.

Facebook Messenger App Redesigned:

PLEASE NOTE: *Only for Android 4.0 and iOS 6 or higher. Tablet devices not supported. Data plan required. Please check with your service provider for availability, costs and restrictions. AND DO NOT download any BBM for Android and iPhone that is not from BlackBerry Limited.

Here’s what to do to get past the line-up:

1. Visit BBM.com from your iPhone or Android browser to download BBM.
2. Once the BBM app has been installed, open it.
3. When asked to “Enter your email address to check if you can start using BBM”, use your email address if you signed up to be notified about BBM for Android and iPhone.
4. Get started with setting up BBM

Note to iPhone users: Apps can take up to a few hours to appear in the App Store so if you don’t see it right away, it will be there soon.

“I am thrilled to tell you that we are about to officially resume our rollout of BBM for Android and iPhone customers around the globe!” 

-Andrew Bocking on Blackberry’s blog.


“In the next few hours, people will start seeing BBM in Google Play, the App Store and in select Samsung App Stores – where it will be free to download.”
he further said.

BBM was supposed to be released last month but was cancelled after an unofficial BBM version for android was downloaded by users. Blackberry claimed this version of the app had issues and cancelled the proposed plan.

The app will be available in Google Play Store, Apple Apps Store and some Samsung app stores in hours. Of course everybody on both platforms will be able to download the app but not everybody will be able to use the app.


UPDATE 1: BBM for iPhone is now available for download in the App Store. The app weighs in at 30.9MB and requires iOS 6 or later. I've included a couple of screenshots below, and you can download it right here.



UPDATE 2: And now the BBM for Android app has appeared in the Google Play Store. I've got some screenshots of the app below the iPhone app images, and you can download the app for yourself right here. BBM for Android is 13MB in size and requires Android 4.0 or later.



After the suspension of the initial plans to roll out BBM last month, Blackberry implored people to sign up for updates about the app. Only those who signed up will be able to use the app right away.
Anybody not yet on the list will supply his/her email and be placed on a queue. The concerned parties will be notified when they are qualified to use the service. This according to reports was to reduce the load on Blackberry servers.

It was a long wait after the leaked versions got out in the public and I still have a hard time believing Blackberry messed it all up, and blamed it that it crashed the servers. C'mon, that alone sounds like a joke!

Anyway, when you first launch BBM you will be asked to enter your email so they can check whether or not you can start using the app. Like we didn't have to wait long enough... Thankfully, as I had already registered on their site, they actually let me use it! All I had to do was create a new Blackberry ID and that's it, I could finally use the world famous messenger!

In a matter of weeks, possibly this month, BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) will be available for download on Android phones and Apple’s iPhone. Already, Samsung has been reported to be running adverts to spread this news. Readers of BlackBerry blog CrackBerry reported seeing TV ads in a few different African countries during the last Manchester United vs. Chelsea match. The advert briefly appeared on Samsung Ghana’s YouTube account before being taken down.

Samsung Ghana’s Facebook page is currently teasing users with the status, “Another messenger is coming on Samsung phones sooner than you think… what is it?”

Last month, Samsung Africa revealed BBM would become part of the Samsung Messenger Hub, but didn’t announce a date.

Blackberry  CEO, Thorsten Heins, at the BlackBerry Live conference in May,  had earlier made the announcement that BBM which had been the major attraction to Blackberry phone, apart from the pride of owning one, was to become a multi-platform application. Now, the company has offered some insight as to why it is making this move. According to a Wall Street Journal report, BlackBerry might decide to spin off one of its divisions.

BlackBerry is trying to determine whether it should spin off its BlackBerry Messenger service to a separate company, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing people who claim to have knowledge of the plans. The newly formed company would be known as BBM Inc., according to the Journal’s sources.

As BlackBerry faces the prospect of potentially having to part out its more valuable assets for sale, BBM is a natural opportunity that comes to mind, and the recent decision to take the messaging platform to both iOS and Android makes a lot more sense once one considers that it means diversifying the brand prior to a potential sale.

The possible BBM spinoff comes after BlackBerry announced that it had appointed a special committee to explore “strategic alternatives” for its ailing option. BlackBerry claims to be open to any and all options, including selling its operation to another firm.
