BBM for iOS Release Date
BlackBerry
Messenger is close to becoming a cross-platform messaging service for
the first time, but when will you be able to download the app on your
Android and iOS devices? BlackBerry has been pretty quiet about launch
dates up until now, but a new rumor claims BBM will hit Google Play this
Friday, September 20, before landing on the App Store a day later.
Indonesian website TeknoUp has published an invite to a BBM launch
event in Jakarta at 12 p.m. local time on Thursday, September 19.
BlackBerry is expected to confirm at the event that BBM for Android and
iOS will be available before the end of the week.
We cannot confirm the invitation is genuine, and we’re yet to hear
about similar events in the U.S. or Canada — but CrackBerry has also
received some dates for BBM’s cross-platform launch, and they line up
perfectly. Here’s what you can expect, then, according to CrackBerry:
- Friday, Sept 20th, 7am EST: Android version published on Google Play
- Friday, Sept 20th, 7am EST: BBM.com goes live
- Friday, Sept 20th, 7am EST: CRM messages sent out to pre-registrants
- Saturday, Sept 21th: BBM on iOS becomes available 12:01 am EST, Saturday Sept 21st in local time zones.
- Saturday, Sept 20th, 7am EST: Follow-up CRM message sent out after full App Store deployment
We had suspected that BlackBerry might wait until after Apple has
launched its new iPhones before launching BBM for Android and iOS, but
clearly it’s not too concerned about the news being buried under iPhone
reviews and related stories.
So, if you’re lucky enough to be picking up a new iPhone on Friday,
it looks like you’ll be able to use BBM on it the following day
EnjOy..:)
