BlackBerry rolling out redesigned BBM for iPhone 6/6 Plus

Better late than never, BlackBerry showed off a redesigned version of its BBM app with native resolution support for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus which should be rolling out to users soon.

The update also includes some design adjustments, BlackBerry says, adding to the “fresh new look and feel” of the updated version for iOS 8 and the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. A preview screenshot of the new version of BlackBerry Messenger for iPhone (seen above on the right) shows the user interface refinements coming to the messaging app.

BBM for iPhone, which first hit iOS just over a year ago with regular updates, is available for free on the App Store. The updated version should be out for users shortly.

    Still the same ugliness reeking of Windows 95.

    Look at all that wasted space. It certainly looks a lot better than Android/BB/etc, but geez they have a ways to go with that.

    BBM on BlackBerry hardware is better than anything Android/iPhone has to offer for messaging (WhatsApp is close). But THIS iOS.app is not that BBM, its neither simple nor efficient but a refection of BlackBerry, the company, as it continues to be.

  4. I’m sure both people using the service will be very happy with the new update.
