BlackBerry Messenger launches on iOS; Android still waits

The wait is almost over!

Now available for iOS
According to series of tweets posted by the official Twitter handle for the BlackBerry Messenger (@BBM), it was stated that BBM is now available on the iOS platform for the folks in New Zealand, Malaysia, India and UAE.

Good morning #NewZealand, welcome to @BBM on #iPhone. #BBM4ALL

Even though it was released prematurely as the case may be, BBM is now available on the iTunes store for download. Actually, It was meant to roll out on Android and iOS on the 21st & 22nd of September, 2013 respectively. (- as at the time this article was written)

Since 7:00am (ET) Android fan-boys/girls have been visiting BBM's web page in droves to download the instant messenger on their devices but haven't been able to. We deduced that BlackBerry is having a little down time with their servers, but the guys over there are working earnestly to fix that and put up the download links ASAP.


Beware of Fake BBM apps on the Play Store! 
A couple of pseudo-bbm apps carrying fake logos and developers are already on the Google Play Store too. The guys at Android Central elaborated on that so you won't be mislead by those ersatz.

If you're tired of waiting, you could as well download a leaked version of BBM for Android here
For the time being, let's keep our fingers crossed till BBM becomes officially available for Android users all over the world.
